but certainly not orange!  It’s Red, Red, Red.

Although Wales Under 21s eventually lost to an experienced England side, their performances over the 2 legs of the playoffs, and the campaign were superb.  Even though they let in a couple of sloppy goals, the goals they scored were of a high quality.  Aaron Ramsey really drove this team on and scored one of the sweetest strikes you’ll ever see.

With Gunter, Bale, Ledley, Hennessey and Nyatanga already firm fixtures in the senior squad, the depth of talent in the under 21s is undeniable.  They played with style, passing the ball with confidence.

The fact that they had to play a playoff in the first place is another story, but to score 4 against an England side, unbeaten in 26 and having only conceded 1 in their 8 group games was something else.

Here’s hoping they can all make the step up… exciting times.
