Catch up on all the latest news and see how Northends Internationals are getting on

The season may be over domestically but there's still the matter of some Internationals for a select few

David Nugent got his England career off to a winning start in the Toulon Tournament for the U-20s after coming on off the bench for the last 15 minutes as England beat Tunisia 2-0. Nugent was then handed a starting place on Saturday but unfortunatley England were beaten 1-0 by Portugal and Nugent found himself taken off after 62 minutes. England now lie second in their group with only South Korea left to play on Monday night (KO 16:00).

Graham Alexander was given his first start for Scotland in over a year as they overcame Moldova 2-0 to grab their first victory in their World Cup Qualifying campaign. Alexander looked to be playing on the left side for Scotland and lasted the full match as he notched up his 14th cap.

Bad news though for Brian O'Neil who sustained an ankle injury at the Millennium Stadium and was unable to recover to feature in his first match for over five years for Scotland and was sent home.

And finally Northern Irelands Andy Smith came on for the last 15 minutes of their 4-1 defeat at the hands of Germany replacing David Healy who grabbed Northern Irelands only goal of the game which put them 1-0 up.
