Women’s football: Magnificent seven for Bowe, Rhyl recover from two-down to win, Welsh Cup joy for Nomads

Katie Bowe (back row, third from right) scored seven times for Mountain Rangers

Katie Bowe scored seven goals as Mountain Rangers romped to a 14-1 victory over Holywell FC Girls and Ladies in Division Two of the North Wales Women’s League.

Former Llandudno and Caernarfon Town star Bowe scored four in the first half and added three more after the break.

Lisa Thomas (3), Elena Julio (2, 1 pen), Sara Williams and Siwan Williams netted the rest for Rangers, but arguably the most popular goal of the day was Holywell’s first ever as a team, Ruby McGilloway with a 25-yard screamer after beating four defenders.

Caernarfon Town 1 NFA 7

Emily Jones grabbed a hat-trick for a visiting NFA side which celebrated their first league win.

Jones struck on 28, 43 and 54 minutes, while Rachel Lloyd added a double after 27 and 72, while Amy Webster also scored twice on 38 and 68. Lisa Jones bagged a consolation for the Cofis.

Pwllheli 3 Amlwch Town 8

For the second week running, Ffion Owen and Lexi Crawley scored three apiece for an impressive Amlwch outfit.

Ceri Slaney added a double for the visitors, who have won their opening two matches 9-0 and now 8-3.

Pwllheli never gave in and hit back through Stacey Sansome (2) and Lois Thomas.

Division One

Denbigh Town 1 Llanfair United 3

Despite a fine team performance from the home side, reigning joint-champions Llanfair proved a little good for their hosts.

Ffion Barnett, Sophie Cook and captain Mary Bailey were on target for the Powys visitors, Emma Roden replying for the home team.

Airbus UK 2 Rhyl 3

Visitors Rhyl recovered from two goals down to claim all three points at Airbus.

A fine 18-yard finish from Annest Jones and a Becky Lees free kick from distance put the Wingmakers in seeming command, but the away side showed great character to pinch the spoils thanks to Natalie Harrison (2, 1 pen) and Ceri Purvis.

Welsh Cup first round

Llanberis 2 Connah’s Quay Nomads 6

This all-North Wales League Division Two contest saw the Deesiders eventually show their superiority.

Nomads took an early lead, but Ffion Roberts soon made it all-square with a clinical finish.

The visitors were 3-1 up by half time, and then added three more after the break before the outstanding Charley Davies made it 6-2 with a 20-yard free-kick.

Quay scorers were Jasmin Dutton, Candice Nellist, Tonicha Dickens, Rebecca Jarvis-Evans and Jennifer Hayes (2).

Llandudno 0 Cardiff City FC Women 7

Outclassed Llandudno were crushed at Maesdu Park in this Welsh Premier Women’s League Cup tie.

Cardiff’s new signing Kate Jeremiah notched a hat-trick, Alana Murphy delivered a double and there were singles for Jasmine Simpson and Catherine Walsh.
