    Laura O'Sullivan made two great saves, one vital save at the end of the game that denied Slovenia what could have been an absolutely devastating goal for Wales to concede.

    You see how much it means to the players, the staff.

    This is why Gemma Grainger became manager - because she wanted to get Wales to major tournaments.

    This is just the beginning.

    I find it hard to sum up my emotions.

    It's been a hard group, a hard game of the season.

    Now can Wales be more ruthless when they get to the play-offs and take those chances.

    This is a great achievement but we want to take that next step and get to the World Cup.
