NWCFA Women’s Recreational League: Pen Blues edge narrow win over Kinmel Bay
NWCFA RECREATIONAL WOMEN’S LEAGUE – FEBRUARY 9
Kinmel Bay 0 Penmaenmawr Phoenix Blues 1 (Gabriela Maderia de Carvalho Dutra 32)
In a fiercely competitive 60-minute contest, Penmaenmawr Ladies Blues edged a narrow victory over Kinmel Bay Ladies Recreational in a match full of energy, commitment, and clear chances at both ends.
Penmaenmawr started brightly, carving out the first real opening with some slick combination play down the wing before a shot flashed just wide of the post.
Kinmel Bay responded almost immediately – a superb dive producing a fine fingertip save from keeper Nat Minard kept the score level. As the first half drew to a close, Penmaenmawr nearly struck again when a thunderous effort was tipped over brilliantly by Bay goalkeeper Hannah Roberts of Kinmel Bay.
The breakthrough arrived early in the second half. A long ball from Minard found Gabriela Dutra, who brought it under control before unleashing a stunning strike into the back of the net to give Penmaenmawr the lead.
Kinmel Bay pushed hard for an equaliser. Captain Caitlin Blackwell rattled the crossbar with a well-taken half-volley. Seconds later keeper Roberts made a composed catch at the opposite end after a long-range Penmaenmawr effort. The hosts came closest again when Kerry Williams fired a swirling effort from the left that crashed off the post and went wide.
The final action saw Penmaenmawr threaten from a late corner, but defender Trish Harley was alert to clear the danger.
Another great game of women’s competitive football on display this evening from the North Wales Coast Women’s Recreational League.
