First for Ferry

Briton Ferry Llansawel claimed a first win of the campaign as they came from behind to beat mid-table Abergavenny, thereby climbing off the bottom at the expense of Rhyl.

Kate Jeremiah had the visitors ahead but Briton Ferry soon equalised through Lucy Powell and Megan Kearle hit the winner.
