Finishing

Too many to choose from, Rachel Roberts a rock at the back, Lucie White fearless, Ffion Evans like lightning and was looking forward to playing with Alaw Davies-Smith but only lasted just over half a match and got injured🤕

Elen of Penrhyn Bay, used to hate playing against her as she was such a good defender. I could never get past and always complained to my mum and dad about her!

Funniest team-mate

Rachel Roberts, the things she does has me in stitches

Favourite away ground

Only played there once but Man City training ground, the blue pitch, played for North Wales but we won’t mention the score😱

Tell us about your coaching experience

I did my leaders award just after leaving school at the age of 16 as an extra qualification.

Whilst I was doing that qualification I tore my ACL and obviously couldn’t play. About a month later Corwen needed a coach for their U12 girls team so thought I would give it a go to stay involved with the game and haven’t looked back since.

Then I progressed onto the C certificate around November 2019 and gaining that qualification summer time 2020 led me to gain employment at Dragon ADC in Oswestry where I’m with the U9 boys and primary aged girls and still volunteering as a coach for under-12 girls at Corwen.
