Denbigh Town Ladies made it a superb five wins on the spin with the 3-0 dismantling of Kinmel Bay at Y Morfa.

Goals from Ceri Purvis, Natalie Harrison and Shannon Jones secured three points to send Town to 2nd in the North Wales Women’s Football League East.

Ellen Lawson made changes to the side that won at Northop Hall a week ago with Alaw Jones and Charlotte Cooper coming into the side and Natalie Harrison returning to the squad.

Denbigh began the match with confidence during a superb run of form and after 13 minutes had the first chance of the game when Shannon Jones crossed for Elen Jones but her header was comfortably saved.

Denbigh edged the match but chances were at a premium on a tight pitch that saw each side struggle to find space, particularly in the middle of the park.

On 32 minutes Town came close when Cooper was set through on goal but pushed wide, she got a shot away and found the bottom of the post.

Kinmel Bay’s first opportunity came on 42 minutes when Jess Jones ran through on goal beating the offside trap, but Netty Young produced a fine save.

Eventually the deadlock was broken as Natalie Harrison was brought down in the Bay box and the referee pointed to the spot. Ceri Purvis stepped up a minute after her effort from range shaved the top of the bar and duly converted from the spot.

Half-Time: Kinmel Bay Women 0-1 Denbigh Town Ladies

The second half began with neither side carving out any real chances in the opening ten minutes but that all changed on 58 minutes as Denbigh won a free-kick just inside the Bay half. Mali Thomas delivered and the hosts failed to clear their lines allowing Harrison to pounce and rifle it home. Not a bad birthday present for the veteran.

On the hour mark it was almost three when Meg Edwards cut inside from the left before hitting one inches over. Kinmel Bay weren’t out of it however, and Georgia Williams ran through one-on-one before Young sprung to action to deny.

With six minutes to play it was almost wrapped up when Beth Kell won the ball deep in Bay territory before crossing for Bancroft who just couldn’t keep her effort from looping over the bar.

Not that it mattered, in stoppage time a loose ball on the edge of the box was latched on to by Shannon Jones who won the race and curled the ball in to the top corner for her first of the campaign.

Town are next in action when they travel to Pwllheli in the Betty Pickering Cup on November 12th.
