Wales pip Scotland in first Test
Wales were the more enterprising side in the early exchanges and Scots goalkeeper Nikki Cochrane had to look lively, while at the other end a half chance fell to Katie Robertson but she failed to control the ball.
Wales went ahead through Natasha Marke-Jones, but their lead lasted only two minutes. Amy Brodie, pictured, found herself in space in the circle and the Edinburgh University striker fired a fierce shot high into the Welsh net.

Hide AdWales regained the lead when Phoebe Richards capitalised on slackness in the home defence to fire home a low shot past Cochrane.
Scots coach Gordon Shepherd took the gamble of replacing Cochrane with an additional outfield player and the result was a frantic finish with the Welsh reduced to nine players at one point but they held out for a narrow victory.
