HOLYWELL REPLACE NOMADS, KINMEL OFF TO FLYER, LLYSFAEN BOUNCE BACK

Holywell FC Girls and Ladies have entered the North Wales Ladies Recreational Football League, replacing Connah’s Quay Nomads’ development team, which has withdrawn.

Holywell now take over Nomads’ fixtures in Group East.

Meanwhile, the latest two matches in East brought mixed fortunes for Llysfaen Lionesses.

Last Sunday, Llysfaen were beaten 4-0 by Kinmel Bay, Jessica Hall, Jessica Jones, Lucy Perry and Seren Williams with the goals for the winning team.

Better times came Llysfaen’s way last night as they inflicted a 5-0 defeat on Dragonhearts, Alannah Dunne (2), Emma Fisher (2) and Sophie Heap producing the goals.

DRAGONHEARTS ROAR TO FIRST WIN BUT PENTRE SHOW PROMISE

Dragonhearts beat Pentre Hawks 3-1 in the first-ever Group East match to be played in the North Wales Ladies Recreational Football League.

Two games had already taken place in the West section, but Tuesday night saw action in the East get underway.

Dragonhearts of Rhyl came up against Abergele-based Pentre at St Asaph Leisure Centre, and what a fine game it turned out to be.

Pentre were playing their first-ever game together but really went at the opposition and showed plenty of promise for the future.

It was Dragonhearts who eventually won the game, though, Steph Davies, Caroline Williams and Jade Davies scoring for the Rhyl side, while Kirsty Roberts was on target for Pentre, who are managed by Phillip Peabody.

Dragonhearts are in very good hands, as their coaches are Emily Jones and Becca Bannister, both of whom have played in the Welsh Premier and are now members of the newly-formed NFA team which competes in North Wales League.

The Dragonhearts are sponsored by Teamtonyplasterers and Tuesday night saw them perform in their groovy new kit whose colours remind me of those lovely fruit sherbets you can still get here and there.

RESULTS

Group East October 16: Dragonhearts 3 (Steph Davies, Caroline Williams, Jade Davies) Pentre 1 (Kirsty Roberts)

Group West October 13: Queen Bees Eglwysbach 4 (Hannah Jones 2, Jo Trafford, Seren Kerfoot-Robson) Llanfairfechan Town 4 (Maddie Williams 3, Rachel Evans) October 14: Penrhyn Bay Panthers 1 (Eleanor Slack) Mochdre Lionesses 2 (Alicia Stretton 2)

Recreational League Underway

The North Wales Women’s Recreational Football League is underway!

The first two matches in the newly-formed league have taken place over the last two days, both involving teams in Group West.

Queen Bees Eglwysbach and Llanfairfechan Town played the historic first-ever game in the league and, befitting the occasion, battled out a thrilling 4-4 draw.

Maddie Williams, who has impressed hugely in build-up games for Llanfair, scored a hat-trick and Rachel Evans was also on target with her first senior goal.

Queen Bees would not be denied their draw though, Hannah Jones (2), Jo Trafford and Seren Kerfoot-Robson grabbing their goals.

The game also had some real drama, as Llanfair had the chance to win it when they were awarded a penalty, but Maddie Williams’ effort was saved by heroic stand-in keeper Laura Nicholls.

The second match saw Mochdre Lionesses claim a narrow 2-1 win over Penrhyn Bay Panthers.

Both these teams have been around for a while, playing in the Cheshire-based Inspire League over the past couple of years.

They played out a good contest but two goals from Alicia Stretton sealed a Lionesses win, Eleanor Slack replying for the Panthers.

OPENING RESULTS
