Young guns given their chance against the Estonians
Jayne Ludlow has called up no fewer than six teenage players
to her 24-woman squad for the match against Estonia – the first women’s
international to be hosted in Wrexham since 2012.
Jess Fishlock, Gemma Evans and Elise Hughes are all
unavailable through injury, giving uncapped youngsters like Charlton’s Lily
Woodham and Cardiff’s Maria Francis-Jones a chance to shine alongside the likes
of Sophie Ingle.
Ludlow will see Estonia – currently ranked 91st in
the world – as a good test as Wales enter a crucial period of their Euro 2021
qualifying campaign.
Wales currently lie second in their group, four points
behind leaders Norway, after drawing twice against Northern Ireland – and they
play Norway on 14 April. The three best runners-up in the group stages will
qualify directly to the tournament, and Wales have high hopes of reaching their
first ever major women’s finals.

The beautiful game. The national game. The
world game.
But don't be content to
just watch it. Lace up your boots and get your foot on the ball to take part in
perhaps the most easily accessible sport there is.
With 1.4 million women and girls playing
football, there's no doubt that it's the nation's most popular female-team
participation sport.
Around the UK there are schemes designed to
help girls get into football - from grassroots to the professional game - as
well as routes into coaching.
Each Football Association across the
country has information specifically to encourage women to play so get
contacting in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
