Northern Ireland women's football manager Tanya Oxtoby praised 18-year-old striker Kascie Weir following her debut against Poland, emphasizing the available pathways for young talents. Despite the team's 2-0 defeat in their Nations League opener, Oxtoby highlighted the importance of Weir's debut experience, encouraging her to enjoy the moment. The team's captain, Rebecca McKenna, made her 50th appearance, and Oxtoby noted a more settled performance in the second half. Looking ahead, she expressed anticipation for the upcoming match against Bosnia-Herzegovina and the support from home fans.
I just said 'go and enjoy it'. You don't get that moment very often, or you only get it once, so she's earned it.
I'm really pleased for her and it shows the pathway and what we're trying to do here in terms of bringing players through.
It was a much better second half from us as well so we're really looking forward to getting back home getting in front of our home fans.
We speak all the time that it's about the entire squad and you saw that again.
