First football memory

Aged 7 playing for the local boys team, Rhos Aelwyd, having gained the nickname “flower power”

Football idol

I’d have to say Joe Allen

Position

Either wing but often play left back

Most memorable game played in

What a team! Corwen Girls quadruple winners

Would have to be the last game against of the 16/17 season away at Llandudno. In that season we won four cups, it was a massive accomplishment for all of us.

Biggest highlight of football career so far

Travelling down to Cardiff for a camp with the Wales team

Best goal scored

My best goal was a long distance shot against Bethel. It was an important game, both teams were playing very well and it ended up going to penalties.

Strengths to your game

Ffion (red) takes on Bethesda/ Picture: Sian Armstrong

I’m pretty quick and agile

I’m 5ft 2…

Best team-mate played alongside

Rachel Roberts

I’d say Rachel Roberts, not only has she represented county and country on multiple occasions, but we’ve been playing together since we were 9

Hardest opponent faced

There’s some absolute quality players in the league, but I always remember Catrin Evans of Amlwch being very difficult to play against

Biggest influence in football

My Dad, I probably wouldn’t have ever started playing football without his encouragement when I was younger.

Funniest team-mate

Amelia Evans. Pic: Sian Armstrong

Hard one, I’d have to say Amelia Evans, can’t get through any sort of training session or game without laughing with her.

Which team-mate is the best dancer

Seren Williams without a doubt, some of her proposed goal celebrations have been class

Favourite away ground

Newtown or Llanfair Caereinion

Other sporting achievements

Once bowled 14-2 as a spinner against Northop Ladies, That was a class game

Personal football ambitions

My only ambition at the minute is to keep on enjoying the game, maybe to get a few goals next season.

Best country visited

Croatia, amazing country

Favourite chocolate

Plain Cadbury’s Dairy Milk

Best film seen

The Brothers Grimsby

Current favourite song

Such a difficult question, currently I really like Maybe California by The Snuts

Favourite TV show

James Acaster Repertoire or Derry Girls, can’t decide between them both firm favourites.

TV show you dislike most

The Big Bang Theory, just can’t get into it.

Best quality as a person

Loyalty and honestly, I can be pretty funny as well

Worst fault

I apologise way too often
