First football memory

Winning an under 11s NWGFL football tournament with my bestie Amy Roberts (Pwllheli)

Position

Centre Back

Most memorable game played in

Not because of the result or performance but purely because how much the game meant to us as such a young squad. Beating Llanfair at home 1-0 last season. So much maturity shown. Quality performance.

Biggest highlight of football career so far

Last season I won Player of the season, Players player and Coach’s Player (Lenny Jones) which was flattering. This season, being the captain of Bethel Ladies FC (Hopefully doing a good job!)

Biggest influence in football
