Inside the border village where English and Welsh fans are divided by a single street

WELSH and English fans are divided by a single street in the border village of Llanymynech.

Rival flags adorn each side of the road.

England-born Jean Williams and Welsh husband Kevin, married 20 years tomorrow, will watch separately.

Jean, 65, said: “I’m hoping for a Three Lions victory. I reckon we’ll beat The Dragons 3-O. I’ll be over the moon.”

Electrical engineer Keith, 59, chipped in: “I think my wife’s got that wrong.”

Supporters in the Dragon Inn, which straddles the border, were celebrating early.

Welsh farmer Dan Lee said: “We’re going to win 4-1.”

English mate Jay Holding, 21, said: “There’s a lot of rivalry but it’s friendly.

“I’d like to say 10-0 for England but I’d better say 2-1 as I’m drinking with a Welsh friend in a Welsh pub.

“Yes, there’s a lot of rivalry and banter but it’s all quite friendly.”

Meanwhile scaffolder pal Tommy Pugh, 20, who was born in Wales but grew up in England, is confused who to support.

He said: “Some of my mates support England, Wales, I am right down the middle.

“I thought I was an England fan living in Wales and now I may be a Welsh fan living here.

“You know what I’ll be supporting the team that wins, whoever wins!”
