REPORT: Moment of magic decides close-fought battle between much-improved teams

NORTH WALES WOMEN’S LEAGUE WEST DIVISION

Llanystumdwy 0
Trearddur Bay 1 (Thomas 58)

Gemma Thomas’ 58th minute super strike ensured Trearddur kept their 100 percent record in 2025, while for Llanystumdwy it was a first league defeat of the season.

Two massively improved sides at tier 3 level in North Wales put up a great battle at Parc Dwyfor on Sunday.

The game was played on a bumpy pitch and both teams worked really hard to try and gain the advantage.

Defences dominated and both sets of midfield fought tirelessly in a bid to take the upper hand, but there were no clear-cut chances created in the first half.

The second half continued the same way with both sides showing great commitment and energy but neither earning superiority.

That was until two minutes before the hour when Trearddur Bay were awarded a free kick 20 yards out.

Up stepped centre half Gemma Thomas who curled the ball around the defensive wall and into the net with a brilliant effort.

The rest of the game continued in the same vein with two ultra competitive sides trying their best.

This was not a great spectacle for the neutral but both sides played really well and gave 100%. Unfortunately for Llanystumdwy one moment of magic won the game.

A tremendous effort from both sides and the game was really well refereed.

Trearddur manager Ali Thomas was full of praise for both sides and stated this was a fantastic result for his team.
