Caernarfon Town have fielded some tremendous women’s teams in the past – and the future’s looking brighter too.
This season, the Canaries side competing in the North Wales Women’s League under the managership of Owain Bryn Jones and Dei Pritchard are showing a lot of promise.
For Owain, being involved with the team truly is a family affair.
His mother Gwenno is the first aid officer, while twin sisters Elin and Lisa Jones play for the side as a defender and forward respectively.
Although a very young team, there is a bit of handy experience in the squad too with Jess Lane, an ‘ancient’ 🤣 21 years of age, having played previously for Llangefni Town and Mountain Rangers.
She was also at Bethel as a junior, where she won the North Wales Coast Cup under the coaching of Ben Bolton and Lenny Jones.
Jess is now reunited with a club where she has enjoyed remarkable success in the past.
Four years ago, she was named Young Volunteer of the Year at the national FAW Grassroots Awards in Cardiff for her work with Caernarfon Town.
In Poppy Jones, Caernarfon have an outstanding young goalkeeper who has been showing top form this season and proves her dedication by regularly travelling up from Aberystwyth University to take part in games.
As for very young talent, this includes Yazmin Owen. Elin Roberts and Amber Brown, who recently signed up for the first team.
Elin netted 23 goals in 22 appearances with the junior side before joining the seniors.
This season has already seen Caernarfon beat fellow town team CPD Merched Tref Caernarfon 3-1, as well as recently gaining a very commendable 1-1 draw at Amlwch.
Since the turn of the new millennium, Caernarfon Town women’s teams have made their mark in the English system Northern Combination, won the Welsh Premier Women’s League northern conference twice, then the North Wales Women’s League title in 2016-17 along with numerous cups.
That’s impressive history, but it is the future that matters now and time will tell if the promising squad Caernarfon Town are building can achieve further glories for the club.
