TWO Cwmbran Celtic Ladies players have been named in the Wales squad for next month’s UEFA Women’s Euro Qualifier against Norway in Newport.

Claire Skinner and Chloe Chivers join the likes of Jess Fishlock and Sophie Ingle in Jayne Ludlow’s squad.

The match will be played at Newport Stadium, Spytty Park, on June 7.

Kick-off is at 5pm and tickets cost £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.

Wales still have the chance to make qualifying history, but if Ludlow's side are to reach the Netherlands for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 finals, they will need to claim an impressive scalp against a decorated Norwegian outfit that have already claimed a 4-0 victory over Wales in the reverse fixture.

However, Ludlow will relish brining the best of Group 8 to Wales for the final three games, and there have been enough positive signs in recent performances to suggest that there could still be a few twists and turns before the final group positions are decided.

The eight group winners and the six best runners-up advance to the final tournament, while the other two runners-up go to a play-off in October.

Host nation the Netherlands will join the 15 qualifiers in the final tournament in July and August 2017.

Realistically Wales need to target second place, and if they can end their campaign with the required three victories, then they will be in competition with Austria for that position.

Austria have two games before Wales play Norway, against Norway and Israel, and the ideal outcome would be for Austria to lose both.

If this should happen, and Wales can then beat Norway, then Ludlow’s side will be two points behind Austria with a game in hand and the two sides bring the group to a close on September 20.
