Duo in International action

Last updated : 18 August 2004 By Rob Davies
Henderson, on a three-month loan from Aston Villa, played the first half in Ireland's 2-1 victory over Bulgaria. Another former Notts loanee, Man City's Patrick McCarthy, scored the winner for the Republic.

Pipe (pictured right), meanwhile, is expected to feature for the Welsh youngster's tonight when they take on Latvia.

The pacey right-sider will win his 7th cap at that level, as well as the one full cap the 20-year-old possesses.

"It is good they are still sending people to watch me and are still prepared to give me a chance." Pipe told the Evening Post.

"I was very happy to join Notts but I had feared dropping down a level or two might affect my international chances a little.

"Obviously I am delighted to be called up again, not least because it can probably help me to improve as a player.

"As well as making you proud to pull on the shirt, it is a great experience too."
