BENARTY football star Lucy Graham says that making her debut for Scotland was a "memory to last a lifetime".

The talented midfield player won her first cap for the senior women's team after coming off the bench in yesterday's challenge match in Hungary.

And a dream day for Lucy was topped off by a 3-0 victory for the Scots in new head coach Shelley Kerr's first match in charge.

Graham, who in February was named as Benarty's Young Citizen of the Year, plays her club football for Hibernian Ladies and was one of just two uncapped players in Kerr's squad.

The new coach - who replaced Anna Signeul after the European Championships in the summer - lost the services of key players such as goalkeeper and skipper Gemma Fay, Ifeoma Dieke and Leanne Ross to retirement and is stepping up preparations for World Cup qualifying.

Graham was introduced six minutes after the break for Joanne Love after the Scots had gone into the break 2-0 up thanks to goals from Lana Clelland and Claire Emslie.

The 20-year-old was desperately unlucky not to begin her senior international career with a goal, with a fierce drive from the edge of the box rattling the Hungarian crossbar.

Jane Ross added Scotland's third in the final minute and, afterwards, Graham tweeted: "Thrilled to get my first senior cap tonight, made even more special having my fam in the stand watching on, memory to last a life time #SWNT".

Graham, who has represented Scotland at various youth levels, won 16 caps and scored five goals for the under-19s and was called up by Signeul for a friendly defeat against Belgium in April, in which she was an unused substitute.

She'll now hope to be involved when Scotland begin their 2019 World Cup campaign next month against Belarus and Albania, with Switzerland and Poland completing their group.
