Wales have made nation proud

After reaching the play-offs for the first time, Wales is proud of their players.

Wales finished second in the World Cup qualification group.

A place at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will be up for grabs on Friday as Wales will be in the play-offs.

The players deserve everything that they get according to Grainger.

The campaign has been outstanding. We have come a long way.

I'm proud of the players. The 12,000 fans here tonight were behind us and we fed off that.

We need even more. We don't have a preference when it comes to who we draw.

The play-offs will be looked at as game 11 and game 12 but we can discuss them now.

Since taking over as Wales manager, Grainger has set his sights on a play-off spot, but now admits he is desperate to go further.

It has been a long time coming for the players.

Growing the game and making people fall in love with the team have been the highlights of the night.

We inspired 12,000 people and I didn't think about it.

The result was a career highlight for Ingle, who has represented Wales for 120 years.

She said they battled until the end and were a great team.

We got the result we needed and I don't know how we didn't.

There are a lot of family and friends here.

Wales defender Rhiannon Roberts, who celebrated her 50th cap, said that they nullified their strengths.

We've made the play-offs and we want to go further. Everyone is happy.

We know we should be playing in tournaments, so we will take it one game at a time.

The crowd was amazing, every time we crossed halfway they roared us on.

Wales women's previous record of 5,450 was more than doubled by the crowd at the city stadium.

The supporters helped to carry Wales over the line, according to Angharad James, who won her 100th cap.

She said it was "surreal" to be playing in front of all the fans.

I'm proud of the group. It is an unbelievable achievement that they were able to do it in front of this group.

The side believes they can achieve their goals thanks to the manager.

"Gemma gave us all a lot of confidence," she said.

The belief was out there today. I hope there's more to come.
