There will been plenty of pride at St Albans City Youth as three of their former players lined up on the international stage alongside each other.
Josie Green, Hayley Ladd and Megan Wynne were all part of the Wales side that drew 0-0 against Northern Ireland in Belfast.
The goal dents their hopes of finishing top of their Euro 2021 qualifying group, leaving them four points behind Norway who they still have to play twice.
For Wynne though the disappointment of the draw was offset by her delight at making her first start.
Speaking to FA Wales TV she said: "I've been coming off the bench but it's a whole other ball game to get my first start for Wales.
"It was great to get out there. My parents were here and for them to see me start is very special.
"It was a disappointing result but we can take a lot of positives.
