Double departure from Bangor City 1876 Women

Bangor City 1876 Women have announced two departures this evening.
Defender Carol Lewis and striker Tesni Hughes have both left the Adran North club.
Lewis, 38, joined Bangor in 2024-25 after 12 seasons with Amlwch Town.
A veteran of six Island Games tournaments for Ynys Môn, who she captained, Lewis made 40 league and cup appearances for Bangor.
She skippered Amlwch Town to their first trophy in 2019 – the North Wales League Supplementary Cup.- and in 2019-20, led the islanders toa first league title when they topped North Wales League Division Two.
Lewis is also a coach for the top class girls team Llewod Llannerchymedd.
Hughes, 23, signed for Bangor at the start of last season, making just seven appearances for the club and scoring in a 5-1 win over Berriew.
She switched to the Citizens following the temporary withdrawal of Amlwch Town from North Wales football.
Formerly with Caernarfon Town Under-16 Girls, Hughes netted 54 goals in 56 appearances for Amlwch, scoring 19 in 2021-22 and 22 in 2022/23.
She represented Ynys Môn in the 2023 Island Games in Guernsey.
Injuries had checked her progress in recent seasons.

On the departure of Lewis, Bangor interim-manager Chris O’Neal said: “She recently came back into the team and suffered an injury recently against Connah’s Quay. An absolute diamond of a person and a true leader in the dressing room. Unfortunately with the battle for places in the squad Carol.needs to be playing more often than not and that isn’t something we could guarantee. She will be a loss to the squad but time moves on and she will always be a blue.”

And in tribute to Hughes, O’Neal added: “Not really had the opportunity to work with Tesni much this season, however due to personal reasons she has decided her time in Bangor is now concluded. When available, a great person to be around and a lovely character.”
