Historic first game at Treborth

It was a night to remember for the womens senior team as they played their first ever game with a win against Denbigh Town FC in a friendly match under the floodlights at Treborth.

Missing a number of key players due to work committments and Captain Dani through injury the home team began on the frontfoot pinning Denbigh back in their half with excellent passing interplay and attacking intent.

Before the vistors had chance to settle into the game, Bangor broke down the left with Gwen Roberts making her senior debut scoring the teams first ever goal with a fine finish on the volley from just inside the box. This was quickly followed by an excellent finish from Ceri Lois and a cracking shot from outside the box from Awel Ellis.

The game became very open and end to end with a number of chances with both teams going close but for excellent saves, last ditch tackles or unlucky finishes. Denbigh came back into the game with a nice finish as Bangor failed to clear their lines following a corner.

With both teams tiring, Bangor broke again with Ceri Lois latching onto a ball over the top to score with a fine finsh and Gwen Roberts scoring twice in the last 10 minutes to claim her first hat-trick in senior football and put the game beyond Denbigh.

The scoreline in the end was somewhat harsh on the visitors who contributed fully to a highly exciting and competitive first ever game but on the night came across a keeper in outstanding form and excellent finishing from Bangor. Final score 6-1.

Well done ladies and congratulations on that first ever win.

Manager Jonny Batten commented:

"Firstly I’d like to thank Jordie and the Denbigh team for making the long journey down the A55 to play, especially on a Friday night. Myself and the coaching staff where very happy and impressed with the work ethic of the team, the effort was there. A few players had to play out of position due to injuries and I appreciate that and their commitment to do what was asked.

The game plan went well, we wanted a quick start and the team did exactly that with an early 2-0 advantage. Complacency then crept in and we allowed Denbigh back into the game, which was not ideal but then turned it back on to get a great result in the end. To be fair Rosie was a handful throughout for Denbigh and if not for the outstanding display from Becca in goal the scoreline could have been a lot closer.

Happy with the team as there first game, a lot of positives to take forward but also a lot to work on, if they carry on with the work ethic they are putting in and carry on progressing as they are, should make for an interesting season."
