AMLWCH PROGRESS IN CUP

Amlwch Town Ladies in a huddle before beating Kinmel Bay

AMLWCH Town Ladies were in winning form again as they triumphed 2-0 at Kinmel Bay in the Maurice Naylor Cup.

Victory for the Anglesey side set them up a home tie with Llanfair United in the next round.

The game did not come to life until minutes after the start of the second period when the home side were awarded a penalty which was superbly saved by Town keeper Sara Williams.

This was the boost that Amlwch needed as Charley Smith opened the scoring just before the hour mark, carrying the ball towards the edge of the area before slotting home her first goal for the club.

In the 63rd minute it was 2-0 after a jinking run by Shannon Thomas resulted in a pass to Cerys Gadd, who found herself with only the keeper to beat before firing home with what proved to be the final goal of the day.
