18 min: Big disappointment for Rhyl as new signing Jess Mills hobbles off, Jazmine Mollatt replaces her

19 min – SKILL SPECIAL: High ball from the sky is brilliantly trapped by Cassie Thomas, who in the same movement sends forward an accurate pass. The crowd gasped in admiration

21 min – GOAL: Rachael Thomas sends over a corner which the Flint defence really struggles with and EMILY BENTLEY forces the ball home. RHYL 1 FLINT 0

26 min – PENALTY: Trip on Stopford results in a penalty to Flint. Stopford takes it, but hits the post
