WOMEN: Under 19 defeat

The Wales Women's Under 19 team lost 7-0 to Germany in Strumica, Macedonia this afternoon to finish the UEFA Qualifying Group 9 matches. Wales went-in to the game knowing that they needed a result to stand any chance of grabbing second place in the group, having already beaten hosts FYR Macedonaia, but loosing to the Czech Republic. The game was all over after 25 minutes, by which time Germany had taken a four goal lead, with a brace of goals a piece for Kim Kulig and Selina Wagner. In the second half, Wagner completed her hat-trick, and there were goals for substitutes Eve Chandraratme and Stefanie Mirlach.
The Welsh girls kept playing to the end, but were well beaten by a very fine side. During the week, all 18 members of the Wales squad featured and several will still be eligible for next season's tournament. - report from the FAW
earlier: The Wales Women's under 19 team lost 3-2 to the Czech Republic in Strumica, Macedonia on Saturday. This was in the UEFA Under 19 Group 9 qualifiers, and followed a Wales win over Macedonia two days earlier. An exciting game saw the Czechs take the lead on 3 minutes from Veronika Pincova, and then ten minutes later, a second went-in from Marketa Ringelova. However, Wales struck back straight away with a goal from Shan Jones (Caernarfon Town). Then, with seven minutes to go before half time, Wales equalised after an own goal by defender Katerina Kralova.
An even second half looked to be heading for a draw before the Czechs struck with fifteen minutes to go through Marcela Kruzova. As much as Wales tried, there was no equaliser this time and now find themselves needing a result in the final group match against Germany on Tuesday.
earlier: The Wales Women's Under 19 side opened with a 2-0 win over hosts Macedonia in their UEFA Group 9 qualifying game in Strumica this afternoon (Thursday).
