David Pipe has been selected by the Wales under-21 side to represent his country in the forthcoming European Championship qualifiers in Merthyr Tydfil (25th March) and Neuseidl Am See(29th March).

Instead, however, the Magpies must now do without the services of Pipe, signed by former boss Gary Mills last year after an impressive loan move, who has been a virtual ever-present amongst the side throughout the campaign.
21-year old Pipe, who is expected to captain the side, joins Irishman Saul Deeney, who – as well as picking up a three-match ban – will miss the ‘Rovers match due to international call-ups.
Shane McFaul, also Irish, is a possibility for a late call-up to the under-21 squad after impressing in first team action. If so, McFaul would join Deeney and former Notts loanee, Wayne Henderson in the squad for the Irish.
