Forward Hayles was included in the Jamaica squad ahead of their 2026 CONCACAF W Championship qualifiers against Antigua & Arbuda and Guyana.
The Reggae Girlz recorded a 4-0 win against Antigua & Barbuda at the country's National Stadium on Friday, with Hayles playing the full game in Kingston.
And on Saturday, Hayles struck Jamaica's second goal in a 2-0 win over Guyana at the same venue, which sealed top spot in Group B and therefore their place at this year's Championship in the process.
Hayles has been in good goalscoring form for her country in recent windows, netting in a remarkable 18-0 thrashing of Dominica before bagging the winner in a 3-2 triumph over Nicaragua.
Forward Murphy and defender Mannion both played the full game as the Republic of Ireland recorded a fine 3-2 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying win over Poland, with Murphy scoring her side's opener and providing an assist for their winner.
Murphy put Carla Ward's charges in front at the Gdansk Stadium on Tuesday, before supplying Marissa Sheva who made it 3-1 just before the hour.
Though Poland rallied and pulled another goal back, Ward's side held on to pick up their first victory in Group A2 after back-to-back defeats at the start of their campaign - and they followed that up with a 1-0 win over the same opposition in Dublin on Saturday.
Sheva's first half clincher sealed the points at the Aviva Stadium as they took a big step towards making sure of third place, with Mannion and Murphy both playing the full 90 minutes and the latter picking up a yellow card.
A staple of the Scotland squad, Gregory was back in Melissa Andreatta's squad for their FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers against Belgium and played the full 90 minutes of their 1-1 draw at Hibernian's Easter Road on Tuesday, with Kathleen McGovern's last-gasp leveller preserving their unbeaten start.
They were then held to a goalless draw by the same opponents at The King Power at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven on Saturday, with Gregory starting before being withdrawn with five minutes remaining.
The former Aston Villa forward now has 12 senior caps for her country, having featured in the emphatic 5-0 and 7-0 wins over Luxembourg that started Andretta's side's qualifying campaign in February.
The Magpies duo were both named in the Finland squad for this month's FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying double-header.
Helmarit kicked off the international window with an impressive 4-2 win over Slovakia at the Helsinki Football Stadium on Tuesday, with Sevenius appearing as a second half substitute.
Sevenius then started in 1-0 win over Latvia at the Daugava Stadium in Riga on Saturday but was unable to add to her tally of eight international goals before being substituted nine minutes after the break.
Joel was named in the Wales squad for their two Women's World Cup qualifying fixtures against Albania, but didn't feature for Rhian Wilkinson's side in their 4-0 win in the first encounter at Racecourse Ground in Wrexham on Tuesday or their 1-0 triumph over the same opponents at the Elbasan Arena on Saturday.
The Magpies pair were named in the Scotland Women Under-23s squad for a double-header of matches in Spain this month.
Scotland's youngsters were edged out in a 1-0 defeat against France on Sunday in Murcia, with Wardlaw playing the full game at the Estadio Nueva Condomina.
Scotland face either USA or Denmark on Thursday 16 April at the same venue. Kick-off will take place at either 12pm or 6pm (BST).
Torpey has been named in the Australia squad ahead of this month's FIFA Series 2026 double-header in Kenya.
The Matildas sealed a 5-0 win against Malawi at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Saturday, with Torpey starting the match before being replaced in the 66th minute.
Australia claimed a 2-0 win against hosts Kenya in the FIFA Series final on Wednesday, with Torpey playing the full 90 minutes in Nairobi.
