Captain Kelly Thomas finally got the goal she had been waiting for as Aberystwyth Town Women picked up a solid 2-0 win away at Barry Town United.

Tania Wylde had opened the scoring on 15 minutes from the penalty spot - and skipper Thomas got on the scoresheet for the first time this season three minutes into the second half, sending home a Shauna Chambers cross left-footed at the back post.

It was her first goal in the league since October 2020, in a losing effort to Cascade.

The afternoon was marred only by an ankle injury to goalkeeper Elen Valentine midway through the second half - and with no keeper on the bench, forward Amy Jenkins took the gloves for the remaining 20 minutes.
