Wall followed up with victories in the Danish, Irish and Belgian Open Championships and a win at the South African Champion of Champions. In 1979 she won the British Open as the number 8 seed, beating Sue Cogswell of England in the final 8-10, 6–9, 9–4, 9–4, 9–3.
Wall represented Australia in the 1979 Women's World Team Squash Championships[3] and trained under Shirley de la Hunty.
