Our first game at the European Championship is in the books and obviously we are all disappointed to have lost against the Netherlands. I don't think I will be able to fully process the emotional side of what it means to represent Wales at a major tournament until after it has finished—it was a real goosebumps moment.

Key Takeaways from the Netherlands Match

• Emotional Rollercoaster: Representing Wales at a major tournament was a surreal experience.
• Positive Aspects: Despite the loss, there were valuable lessons and positives to take from the game.
• Team Spirit: The team's adaptability and strong finish in games are crucial moving forward.

Focus on the France Game

All our attention is now on the France game. It is no surprise to us that we are going to be playing in a really difficult game because our group is really, really tough. We know we are in the deep end at this tournament, but we have better depth than we have ever had and we know that no-one is going to work any harder than us.

Ceri Holland's Fitness

One huge bonus for us ahead of the France match is the fact that Ceri Holland is fit to play. When she went down I think probably a lot of people feared the worst, but thankfully she's OK. Ceri's a brilliant footballer and her work-rate for the team is off the charts.

Gratitude to Supporters

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude towards our supporters, both those who have turned up to support us here in Switzerland and everyone back home. All we want to do is put football in a better place for people in Wales and feeling their love and support is really spurring us on as a team and as a group and is a massive motivation for us.

Looking Ahead

We are all feeling very grateful to be able to put Welsh women's football on the biggest stage. It gives me goosebumps to even try to write about it—it is hard to articulate and put the emotions into words. We remain resilient and believe in our ability to make an impact at Euro 2025.
