The Scots were given a golden opportunity to open the scoring in the 11th minute when Louise Campbell was deliberately fouled inside the circle and umpire Sarah Wilson awarding a penalty stroke.

However, the 0-0 scoreline remained in tact as Vikki Bunce pushed her penalty attempt wide of the right hand post.

In the 26th minute, good interplay between Amy Brodie and Nicki Skrastin led to an opportunity for the Clydesdale Western midfielder, but her shot skewed wide of the left hand post.

A further chance fell to Millie Brown shortly before half-time, but Wales’ goalkeeper Rose Thomas was on hand to make the stop.

In the 45th minute, Nikki Kidd drove into the circle to cross to Louise Campbell who was in front of goal, however Thomas was off her line to smother any opportunity.

Jen Eadie went close to opening the scoring in the 58th minute, but her penalty corner attempt was at a comfortable height for Thomas to pad the ball to safety.

Wales were afforded a last gasp opportunity to win the match with a penalty corner bang on seventy minutes, but the shot from Jo Westwood was penalised for being a dangerous height and the match was played out with no goals.

Tomorrow Scotland U21 Women will take to the field against Wales at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre. Pushback is 11am.
