North Wales Women’s League East – wins for Flint, Denbigh and Northop Hall

NORTH WALES WOMEN’S LEAGUE EAST

Flint Town United 16 Bellevue 0

Rosie Hughes became the first Flint Town United women’s player to score four goals in a match in what proved to be quite a one-sided game.

The young talent’s quadruple was part of a record Flint victory at the expense of new side Bellevue. Two of teenager Hughes’ strikes were stunning.

A fourth win on the bounce this season kept Elliott Hale’s side top of North Wales Women’s League East with a 100 percent slate.

In a ruthless display of finishing from the Essity Stadium outfit, Tegan Crockett knocked in a hat-trick to make her top-scorer so far with six goals having netted in all of her appearances.

There were also doubles for captain Ruby McGilloway, Zoe Stopford, the ever-consistent Daisy Hughes and the ever-improving Jasmine Edwards, who notched her first goals for the team.

Jennifer Haynes added a single to get off the mark for the season.

Denbigh Town 3 Berriew 0

Report: Ollie Williams

Denbigh bagged three points on their return to league action with a comfortable victory over Berriew.

Goals from Megan Edwards, Lucy Morris and Lowri Claybrook sealed the 3-0 result in the sunshine at Central Park.

It took nine minutes for the first chance of note which Town took full advantage of as Edwards picked the ball up on the left before hitting a fierce effort past goalkeeper Catherine Bradley.

Minutes later Elen Jones struck the ball inches wide on the turn as Denbigh showed intent in the early stages.

Berriew replied two minutes later as Kate Price ran through before forcing Young into a save with a superb effort from distance just left of centre.

Ten minutes before half-time the lead was doubled when Edwards made inroads down the left flank, forcing the keeper into a save before Lucy Morris followed in to tap home from close range.

Half-Time: Denbigh Town Ladies 2-0 Berriew Ladies

The second half was a slow burner in terms of chances as whilst good football was played throughout neither goalkeeper could say they were truly tested.

Denbigh did have the more possession but couldn’t carve anything out until the final quarter. With 75 minutes gone Edwards again popped up to fire an effort from range which whizzed past the face of goal before nestling wide.

As stoppage time ticked over Town found their third as Claybrook got the ball outside the box before smashing home into the bottom left corner.

Northop Hall 4 Welshpool Town 0

Hall remain second in the table after a comfortable win over newcomers Welshpool.

The only goal of the first half saw Gemma Williams find the net in the 19th minute.

The home side needed a second goal to give them some breathing space and it was provided by Cody Hughes in the 63rd minute.

Five minutes later, a Joanne Bliss-Bennett own goal put the points virtually in the bag.

Taylor Roberts missed a penalty for Hall, but the scoring was complete when Ellen Sharps made it 4-0.
