Penblwydd hapus Ffion Owen – 30 today!
Today is a landmark birthday for Llangefni Town midfielder Ffion Owen as she reaches 30 years of age.
Born on March 16, 1996, Ffion and her family are true Cefni-ites. Dad Terry, mum Nia and brother Gari all have past or current associations with Llangefni Town FC. Terry and Gari have won league titles and cups galore with the Ynys Môn club.
Ffion joined Llangefni at the start of 2024-25 and has made 41 appearances for the team, scoring 18 goals.
Not only is Ffion one of Ynys Môn’s greatest ever footballers, she is also one of the most decorated with numerous winners’ medals in her cabinet.
Her career goals tally is in excess of 100.
Her successes include:
- Adran North title winner Llandudno 2021-22 and 2023-24. She made 68 appearances in total for the Seasiders, netting 26 goals.
- North Wales Coast Challenge Cup winner with Llandudno 2021-22
- Captain of Caernarfon Town’s North Wales League champions of 2016-17, scoring 33 goals
- Betty Pickering Cup winner with Caernarfon Town 2016-17, scoring in every round
- Betty Pickering Cup winner with Caernarfon Town 2015-16
- North Wales League Division 2 champion with Amlwch Town 2019-20, Top-scorer in division with 19 goals.
- With Llangefni Under-11 Girls won three consecutive league titles and a host of cups and tournaments.
- Was in the Ysgol Corn Hir, Llangefni primary school football team which won a national tournament.
- Silver medal winner with Ynys Môn at the 2019 Inter-Games held on Anglesey
Quiet and unassuming off the pitch, Ffion certainly does not hold back when she crosses the white line.
Her powerful midfield play is complemented by tremendous passing ability and gift for scoring goals from long or short distance. She is also a constant danger at set pieces.
Ffion’s aim this season is to add to the league titles she has won with Caernarfon, Llandudno and Amlwch Town and lift the North Wales Coast crown with Llangefni.
