Next up for the ATW Q&A is the bastion of the back line, the doyenne of defence, the biggest of Big Dogs - Rebecca Mathias!

Name your two favourite-ever footballers (one male, one female).
Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ali Krieger.

Cat or dog?
Dog.

What makes you unhappy?  
Losing or having a bad game.

When were you happiest?
Playing, I'd have to say winning the Welsh Cup to complete the treble in my final year at Met. As a fan, the 21st May 2008 (all the United fans will understand).

What is your greatest fear?
Clowns or heights.

What is your earliest memory?
Family holidays to Tenby.

Which living person do you most admire, and why?
They'll love this, but probably my parents for showing me the value of working hard and not taking anything for granted. They're the reason why I started playing football, and have continued to encourage and support me ever since - I know I've had a decent game if I get a compliment out of Dad!

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Unlike Amy [Jenkins] I never get angry at refs, so I'd probably have to say my inability to finish a task before starting on another.

Where would you like to live?
No place like home for me.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
You'd probably have to bleep my actual answer out!

To whom would you most like to say sorry?
To Shauna [Chambers] for giving her some 'constructive criticism' on a dodgy corner delivery. In my defence it's worked out well with Gwen [Jones] taking over and scoring for fun from them!

Who is your best friend in football?
Can I say them all?! Since joining Aber, the girls have been great and I'd like to think I get on with everyone so this is a tricky one! Seeing as she was so nice about me, I've got to give Amy J  a mention - never thought I'd say that as used to hate playing against her when we were younger! I'd better say Cheeks [Bethan Roberts] too after she begged me - there'd be no one to nutmeg in training without her.

If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I'm a bit of a history nerd, so I'd want to see how the Egyptian pyramids were actually built.

Where would you most like to be right now?
If someone fancies paying, I'd love to go to Iceland and see the Northern Lights.

What better way to end the year than with episode 3 of the Aber Town Women Q&A? And this time it's the skipper Kelly Thomas answering the questions.

When were you happiest?
On the way home from Port Talbot away last season when we secured fourth place! Three points, top four, beers and karaoke - what more can a gal ask for?!

What is your greatest fear?
The dentist!

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
Panicking on the ball.

Where would you like to live?
It would be nice to live somewhere with better weather and New Zealand has always been a maybe as I have family there!

What makes you unhappy?
Losing football matches.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
Not many without swearing apart from “Nice you".

Cat or dog?
Dog - specifically Yeppi the world's cutest shih tzu and Maya the bounciest Dalmatian you’ll ever meet (apart from when she tries to lick my ears).

Who is your best friend in football?
If I say Gav, will he keep me in the starting 11?

It was an incredible comeback for Aberystwyth Town Women as they marked their final home match of the year with a spectacular 3-3 draw against TNS Women in the Genero Adran Premier. 

The Seasiders had been 0-3 down after 62 minutes, with goals from Caitlin Chapman (a brace, although the first took a big deflection) and Lucie Platt doing the damage.
Gwenllian Jones was instrumental in the Aber comeback, sending a corner on to the head of Elin Jones for the first goal, then bundling it home herself for the second.
Substitute Tania Wylde came close to levelling up, hitting the bar from range.
And she finally got the goal she deserved in the closing seconds of added time, triggering huge celebrations from the noisy home supporters.

The result was perhaps in keeping with the festive atmosphere off the pitch, with girls from Aberystwyth Rainbows and Brownies serving as the day's mascots, and  match sponsors Teify Forge bringing a large contingent of fans.
"I don't think I'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning! Everybody worked so hard to get that result - we needed it," said Gwenllian Jones afterwards.
"Playing in the top league of women's football in Wales is great for me personally, but it's also great to play alongside these girls."

It was an agonising defeat for Aberystwyth Town Women, falling 2-1 at Pontypridd United and missing their chance to go fourth in the Genero Adran Premier.

Gwenllian Jones had given Aber a first-half lead - but two goals in two minutes for the hosts courtesy of Alison Witts and Olivia Francis kept the points at home.
Aber thought they had equalised in the dying seconds of the game as Rebecca Mathias fired home after a drop ball but the goal was ruled out after a conference between the officials.

"Pontypridd were better than us today," said a disappointed captain Kel Thomas. "We were lucky to come in at 1-0 at half-time - we rode our luck a bit and sneaked a cheeky goal. "We did have some good spells, and there was no doubting the girls' efforts today.
"We've got to dust ourselves down and go again - there's still a lot to play for and we need to remember that the league doesn’t stop at the split so all points will count whether we end up in the top half or the bottom half."

Aber Town Women's next match is on Sunday 4th December against TNS at Park Avenue (kick-off 2pm). ​

You'll be able to catch Aberystwyth Town Women on a big screen near you very soon as they star in a new music video ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

Seasiders stars Elen Valentine, Gwenllian Jones and Carys Pugh-Jones feature in the video that accompanies Welsh National Opera Chorus's version of Yma o Hyd, the song that's become synonymous with the Cymru football team.

And it's intended to act as an inspirational message from WNO and grassroots football to Robert Page’s men ahead of their campaign in Qatar.

Club volunteer and first-team player Lucie Gwilt said: "It was an honour to be invited to join the project and mark Wales's historic World Cup campaign."

Wales U19 international goalkeeper Valentine added: "It was fun to be film stars for the afternoon and we hope it brings Wales massive luck in the weeks to come."
