Walsall trio enjoy triple success on the international stage
Walsall trio Tommy Simkin, David Okagbue and Liam Gordon all tasted victory on the international stage for their respective nations.
Stoke City loanee Simkin wore the armband between the sticks as England romped to a 4-0 victory over arch-rivals Germany in the Under-20 Elite League on Friday.
Goals from Romain Esse, Max Dean, Sydie Peck and Will Lankshear propelled the Three Lions into a four-point lead at the league summit ahead of their penultimate game in Poland on Tuesday night.
Okagbue made his Republic of Ireland under-21s debut in a 3-2 victory in the second of their friendly double-header against Sweden in Marbella on Sunday.
The centre-back was not involved in the first friendly which ended in a 2-0 defeat but played the full 90 minutes as Jamie Mullins, Rocco Vata and Mark O'Mahony scored for the Boys in Green.
Liam Gordon starred for Guyana in a comprehensive 4-1 victory over hosts Barbados in the Concacaf Nations League play-off round on Friday.
Guyana fell behind when Niall Reid-Stephen opened the scoring but Omari Glasgow bagged his brace either side of the break to complete the turnaround.
Osaze de Rosario and Enoch George added to Guyana's advantage to hand them a sizeable advantage heading into the second leg on Tuesday as they aim to secure a spot in the Gold Cup preliminary round.
Elsewhere, Brandon Comley featured for Montserrat as they fell to a third successive defeat in El Salvador earlier today.
The Walsall midfielder started in the heart of defence although club captain Donervon Daniels was not involved, after scoring his second international goal in the 2-1 defeat against Saint Vincent and the Grenada on Thursday.
Rafael Tejada scored the only goal for El Salvador as Montserrat finished bottom of their Nations League group with just three points.
