What a response by Wrexham to last weekend’s first league defeat of the season – a joint club record Adran Premier victory away to one of the South Wales giants.
Faye Knox and Katie Barker both plundered hat-tricks at Garden Village Park, where the league champions matched their highest-ever 8-1 win of just a fortnight earlier away to Briton Ferry Llansawel.
They also went a goal better than on their last visit to Swansea, which Jenny Sugarman’s side won 7-1 back in March.
Knox opened the scoring today on 21 minutes before Barker added a double before the break, one a penalty.
Barker completed a treble – her third for the club and second this season – on 55, then Knox added two in five minutes to also complete her third hat-trick for the Red Dragons.
Lili Mai Jones and Mikayla Wildgoose added further away goals before the end, Chloe Chivers with a scant consolation for the Swans.
Flint completed back-to-back away wins at Bangor and started off their league campaign with a victory to make it four-in-a-row across all competitions so far this term.
The deadlock was broken on 34 minutes when Kelsey Davies set up Laura Williams for her fifth goal in three games.
Recent signing Davies made it three goals in two matches when she finished off a Millie O’Connor assist on 48.
After four losses on the bounce Felinheli responded with a fine win at Berriew sealed by a 91st minute decider from Fflur Williams.
Shannon Jade Jones handed Felin a sixth-minute lead from a Llywela Edwards assist before Gemma Jones levelled on 74.
There was a late twist, however, when Williams bagged the clincher, Edwards again the supplier.
Champions Nomads were pushed all the way by a promoted Foresters side expected to be one of their biggest rivals in the Deesiders’ quest for a third successive title.
Quay stretched their unbeaten run to 30 league matches dating back to March 2024, made up of 27 wins and now three 0-0 draws.
Renee Day hit the bar in the first half for Nomads, but Foresters were the stronger side after the break and it needed three great saves from Faye Moseley to deny them a winner.
Llandudno were not so long ago the strongest team in North Wales women’s football but today’s result reflects just how badly they have regressed.
Emma Williams (4), Paris Schofield (2, 1 pen), Sophie Cook (2), Harriet Davies (2), Tania Wylde (2), Grace Thomas and Sioned Roberts shared the home tally.
Nine of the best from league leaders Nomads Under-19s, Elin Thomas leading the way with four goals.
Katy Roberts and Lily Manchester both struck twice for the visitors, Bogomila Stoycheva also on target.
Frances Hamilton hit a hat-trick for Hall in the village derby triumph over the Reserves.
Tyler Price added a double, while there were singles from Eleanor Thomas and Daisy Allen, Lexie Butcher replying.
Lois Thomas recorded a double hat-trick and Sian Moore scored five as Pwllheli rattled up a huge 17-0 scoreline at The Rec.
Captain Magi Hughes scored three, while there was one each from Annest Roberts, Stacey Sansome and sub Claudia Owen.
Exprienced duo Catrin Thomas and captain Sioned Bohana scored two apiece in an emphatic Caernarfon success at Lon Bach.
Megan Williams, Llinos Hughes, Kimberley Glyn and substitute Jordan Roberts also found the target for the Cofis.
While there were some rather one-sided games in the league today, that was not the case at Cae Cynlas where Holyhead gave leagues Denbigh a great battle.
Catrin Bell, Loz Jones and Lleucu Williams’ 76th minute winner earned the points for the visitors, but replies from Abi Hughes and Grace Stockall ran Hotspur very close.
Kinmel Bay’s first win of the season was a convincing one, captain Seren Williams (2, 1 pen), Lucy Price, Kerry Williams, Georgia Williams, Amy Chesters and sub Lucy Perry split the seven goals at Y Morfa.
NFA chalked up an all-time club record equalling victory on Anglesey.
Baileigh Aaron continued her flying start to the season with a five-goal salvo, Summer Jones hit four, Amy Webster two, Cassandra Thomas (pen) and Rebekah McGuinness one apiece.
NFA also won 13-0 at Holywell Girls and Ladies back in 2021-22.
