My first football memory was when I joined my first girls football team, Llandudno Junction. Our first match was against Llanrug and I scored my first hat-trick and got player of the match.
My idol is Kevin De Bruyne as he plays centre-midfield like me.

Playing in the Welsh Cup final against Villa Dino Christchurch in Aberystwyth in April 2019 because that day we were crowned champions of Wales.
Representing my country in the Home Nations and then receiving my first Welsh cap.
I am able to read the game and I am very determined to do my best for the team on and off the pitch.
My dad, Gareth Rawling is my biggest influence.
Aberystwyth because that is where we became champions of Wales.
Firstly, I attended an open trial in Dragon’s Park and there were a total of 60 girls there. I was one of the three to be selected for the national team. I was selected to play in the Home Nations Tournament in St George’s Park, where we played against England and Scotland. There is no better feeling than representing your country!
It has to be the semi final against Briton Ferry, as we were 2-0 down but came back to a 3-3 draw before full time. The game was decided on penalties and we won 5-4. It was a very challenging game and I’m so glad we managed to win.
