Swansea send Abergavenny to first defeat
Abergavenny’s perfect start was ended by Swansea City, who got the better of their hosts with the best of five goals.
The reigning champions were given a testing afternoon at Abergavenny, where the morning leaders went in front with a Ceri Hudson goal following a free-kick in the 18th minute.
Katy Hosford levelled in the second-half with a fine lofted strike from outside the box and Sarah Adams then put the Swans ahead in the 52nd minute.
Abergavenny were back on level terms through Amy Thrupp before the hour-mark and although City’s Emma Beynon was denied by the bar, Jodie Passmore netted the winner following an Ellie Lake cross in the 78th minute.
Bevan brace seals Cyncoed victory
Cyncoed are in fifth place following a 3-1 defeat of Llandudno, with all the goals coming in the second period.
Kirstie Davies broke the deadlock for the capital side and Caitlin Bevan gave them a two-goal cushion when turning in from a corner.
Bevan’s second and Cyncoed’s third then made sure of the points.
Early goals earn Port Talbot maximum points
Port Talbot Town are the fifth side on six points after a 4-1 win at Caernarfon Town.
Carys Davies and Vickie Stratton had Port Talbot two goals to the good in under a dozen minutes but Caernarfon quickly halved the deficit.
Courtney Thomas made it 3-1 on 34 minutes and the scoring was completed 10 minutes into the second half, when Lauren Amor’s free-kick forced an own-goal.
