League leaders CPDM Bangor 1876 (blue) in action against Northop Hall

FOOTBALL REPORTS – SUNDAY, JANUARY 29

NORTH WALES WOMEN’S FOOTBALL LEAGUE

CPDM Bangor 1876 6 Northop Hall 1

Stevie Donoghuer scored four times as leaders Bangor 1876 made it 14 straight wins since the start of the season.

Australian wonder Donougher made it 24 goals for the campaign in just 10 games as 1876 kept an 18-point lead at the summit.

Jenna Allsup set the ball rolling for the home side with an eighth-minute goal, Mia Roberts providing the assist.

Donougher then added a double on 18 and 31 minutes to make it 3-0 at half time.

The Aussie completed a hat-trick early in the second half before Northop Hall top-scorer Sarah Massey replied. It was just the sixth goal 1876 have conceded in 14 matches.

Donougher made it four for her and five for Bangor before the hour and her replacement in the 76th minute, Awel Ellis, scored a sixth for the hosts on 88.

Bangor 1876 manager Aron Griffith said: “Very pleased with that result today. The girls gave everything in an end-to-end game and fought hard. Their closing down as a team after losing the ball was unbelievable.

“All credit to Northop Hall who battled with us and pushed us to the very end; they’re a top team and gave us threats at times but we dealt with them and took our chances in front of goal.

“It’s all about the three points and keeping getting these results. We shift our focus now on to our next match, where we’ll aim to keep this team effort going.”

Caernarfon Town 0 NFA 9

Second-place NFA were convincing victors over the bottom side.

The ever-consistent Sade Benjamin really excelled herself in scoring five times for the visitors, one a penalty.

Also on target were: Ruby McGilloway, Amy Webster (2) and Stella Windsor.

Denbigh Town 3 Llanfairfechan Town 0

Playing their first league game in nine weeks, third-place Denbigh achieved a satisfying result at Central Park.

Lucy Morris’ 24th minute goal was all that separated the teams at half time.

Substitute Charlotte Cooper doubled the lead on 52 and Amber Hellon added a third on the hour.

Llangefni Town 3 Amlwch Town 2

Having suffered heavy defeats in all four of their previous meetings with Amlwch, how sweet must today’s victory have been for fourth-place Llangefni?

In 2021-22, Cefni went down 6-0 and 8-0 to Amlwch and in the current season they had lost 4-1 in the Welsh Cup and 4-0 in the league to the Lon Bach outfit.

Today was a different story as Dan Gregg’s side made it three straight home league wins in 2023.

Top-scorer Jen Cox gave Cefni an eighth-minute lead before after 20 home manager Gregg was shown a red card.

Emma Roberts made it 1-1 on 27 minutes, but the unstoppable Cox put Cefni back in front before the break.

The next goal would be crucial and it arrived in the 59th minute, Ffion Thomas nudging Llangefni 3-1 up from the penalty spot.

Tesni Hughes responded for Amlwch after 75, but the hosts held on for a memorable win.

Llangefni’s new signing Jess Jones, a prolific scorer for the Caernarfon Under-16 side, made an impressive debut as a second-half substitute.

CPD Pwllheli 2 Llanystumdwy 0

Fifth-place Pwllheli made it six wins in seven league starts.

Bess Roberts struck first on 19 minutes for the home team and Mari Owen made it two after 51.

A good effort from Llanystumdwy at an always difficult venue for away teams to get a result.

Trearddur Bay 3 Flint Town United 0

Goals from Hannah Smith, Sarah Flower and Freya Davies – all inside the first half-hour – clinched maximum points for the Bay.

Kirstie Kural netted a double hat-trick as Nomads hit top spot in the Genero Adran North table in some style.

Kural moved up to 25 goals in all competitions for the season with a stunning display at the Hollingsworth Group Stadium.

Nomads did not have things all their own way in the first half, leading just 1-0 at the break through a Kural net-finder in added time.

In the second half, the floodgates opened.

Kural added five more to her tally on 51, 53, 76, 77 and 83 minutes.

Shannon Hobbs, Elana Harley (2) and Tegan Hewitt brought up the 10.
