Trearddur Bay and Northop Hall share honours in well-contested clash

North Wales Women’s Football League – October 2

Trearddur Bay 2 (A Jones 2)
Northop Hall 2 (Gorecka, Chambers)

For the second season running these sides shared a 2-2 draw at Lon Isallt.

Trearddur started slowly, allowing Northop Hall to establish themselves and take a deserved lead early on through Brygida Gorecka.

That seemed to wake Bay up and they managed to equalise with a great free kick from Ashleigh Jones.

Northop remained a threat and it was against the run of play when Trearddur edged in front.

A good corner from Gail Paterson-Manning caused confusion in the six-yard box and Ashleigh Jones completed her second brace of the season in three games.

A lapse in concentration led to an equaliser for Hall late on in the first half, Lauren Chambers on target to make it 2-2 at the break.

Having much more of the ball in the second half, Trearddur failed to capitalise, missing a couple of good opportunities and hitting the post late on through Paterson-Manning.

Both teams could have won the game but a draw seemed a fair result in the end with the two combatants battling hard.

Bay managers Mark Parry and Stacey Evans said: “A game where we needed a goal in the last minute last season to draw shows the improvement the team is continuing to make as we feel we did enough to win the game this time round. 

“We seem to be a strong team at home and are hoping to continue the good form against Bangor next Sunday.”
