NORTH WALES RECREATIONAL WOMEN’S LEAGUE – REPORTS MAY 18

Penmaenmawr Phoenix Blues 1
Llandudno Valkyries 2

Five wins in six for the Valkyries, who secured a fantastic 2-1 result at third-place Blues on Monday night.
It was a brilliant team performance from the visitors, especially after competing in a tournament over the weekend where they played seven games and won the competition!
In the third minute, Jenn Davies opened the scoring after an awesome assist from Zee Ahari.
Ahari doubled the lead on 13 minutes with Carly Andrews providing the assist.
Abbie Chance replied in the second half for Blues, who had beaten Valkyries 10-1 in the reverse fixture in September. However, the Llandudno side have improved considerably since then and now sit fourth in the table.
A strong first-half display and a determined effort throughout secured Monday’s latest success.

Mochdre Lionesses 2
Eglwysbach Queen Bees 1

Antonia Lopez was on target for Lionesses

After a goalless first half, Lionesses recovered from going a goal down to claim the victory.
Hannah Jones put the Queen Bees one-up in the 33rd minute, but Antonia Lopez levelled soon after, Olivia Sutcliffe with the assist. It was a third goal of the season for Lopez.
Caitlin Howell-Williams then delivered the winner – her fifth goal in seven appearances – to win the game, Sutcliffe again the supplier.
