A break in AFC Women’s domestic calendar means the first International break of the campaign is upon us already.
There are a number of Dons representing their National side over the break.
Toni Leigh Finnegan & Kerry Beattie – Northern Ireland
Toni and Kerry have returned to the Northern Ireland ‘A’ squad fold and will be part of manager Tanya Oxtoby’s squad for their massive UEFA Nations League Play-off against Iceland.
Finnegan (8 caps) and Beattie (10 caps) will be hoping to play their part in getting promotion into League A for the first time in Northern Ireland’s history.
The Dons duo could become the first players to represent their International side at Senior level while playing for Aberdeen Women.
Both matches are live on the BBC iPlayer.
