In October, Aberystwyth Town Ladies scored nine goals in just three matches. Now it's time for the public to choose their favourite.

This time the shortlist of four was chosen by S4C and Sgorio's Nicky John. Nicky has explained why she has chosen these goals:

Caroline Cooper's long range free kick against Willows Ladies was chosen "just for the sheer cheek of it! Cool as you like!."

The Sgorio presenter also picked Kelly Thomas' goal from the same match: "The Kelly Thomas goal was not just a great strike but also great build-up play from the team. So a nice team goal!"

The final two goals were both from Aber's 5-0 victory against Merthyr Town Ladies. The first was Naomi Evans' early goal to make it 2-0. "Both are great strikes which come from impressive build-ups - Naomi's was thanks to the persistence of the winger on the left (Kelly Thomas) who picked Naomi out." 

Nicky also chose the game's third goal, scored by Lisa Cowdy "When the ball comes to Lisa she doesn't lose her nerve at all and the end product was great."

To view the goals and to vote please see the video and poll below. Voting will close on Wednesday 7th November at 6pm.

JD Welsh Premier League
Friday 2nd November
Aberystwyth Town 1-0 The New Saints 

Aberystwyth Town secured a famous JD Welsh Premier League victory as they downed league champions and full-time outfit The New Saints 1-0 on a brilliant Friday night at Park Avenue. 17-year old local Lee Jenkins' 52nd minute goal was enough to see the seasiders to victory as Aber picked up their third successive JD Welsh Premier League win to climb back into the top six in the table. 

Aber made three changes to the starting eleven which beat Llanelli last weekend, with Jack Rimmer, Geoff Kellaway and Rio Ahmadi replacing Alan Goodall, Paulo Mendes and Ashley Ruane. It was the hosts who started the brightest, as Ryan Edwards surged into the penalty area after just 5 minutes where his looping cross was met by Rio Ahmadi, who saw his header cannon off the crossbar and into the arms of the fortunate Paul Harrison in goal. After just 15 minutes, Aber were forced into an early substitution as Jack Rimmer appeared to injure his hamstring, resulting in 17-year old Lee Jenkins coming on in his place at centre half. Visitors TNS gradually began to see more of the ball, and on 22 minutes showed their first glimpse of threatening play as Jamie Mullan's low cross was brilliantly cleared by Ryan Wollacott in the six yard area. Soon after, Mullan combined with Aeron Edwards on the edge of the box but Aber 'keeper Terry McCormick was there to mop up the danger. As the first half wore on, Aber began to edge their way back into the game, and on 34 minutes had another good opportunity as Mathew Jones forced a fine stop from Harrison with a curling free kick, before Declan Walker curled a right footed effort just over the crossbar. Then, on 42 minutes, the hosts had another opportunity as the effervescent Jones burst through from midfield only to see his left footed strike go inches over the crossbar. As half time approached, so did a moment of controversy, as Geoff Kellaway scampered down the right flank in the 45th minute and produced an inch-perfect cross for Joe Phillips who's first time volley landed in the top corner of the net - only to be denied by the assistant referee's offside flag. Aber's vocal supporters voiced their displeasure at the decision as the referee blew for half time, with the seasiders going in unfortunate not to be ahead. 

The black and greens started the second half much the same way as they ended the first, pressing the visitors with great intensity and not allowing them a moment's time or space on the ball. On 52 minutes came the moment the home fans had been sensing, as local starlet Mathew Jones whipped in a fantastic corner kick, where Lee Jenkins was on hand at the back post to tap the ball over the line and make it 1-0. It was a truly memorable moment for the seasiders with two home grown teenagers combining to put them ahead against the league champions, as Aber suddenly had a lead to hold on to! Just four minutes later, the Saints almost found an equaliser as Ryan Brobbel's goal bound effort was heroically blocked on the line by Wes Baynes, before Geoff Kellaway surged through on goal on the counter attack only to be denied by a last ditch Simon Spender challenge. As the hour mark passed, Aber not only defended their lead superbly, but attacked with a pace and dynamism that caused the league leaders no end of problems. On 64 minutes, Joe Phillips almost doubled Town's lead as he cut inside and curled an effort inches wide of Paul Harrison's post, before Mathew Jones fired an effort straight at the Saints 'keeper from the edge of the penalty area. On 70 minutes came the Saints best opportunity to equalise, as Spender crossed for Brobbel who looked sure to slot the ball home, but instead fired wide of McCormcick's post and Aber could breathe a sigh of relief.  As the game entered the final 15 minutes, one would have assumed the hosts would tire against their full-time opponents, but instead the seasiders seemed to find another level of energy - summed up by the tireless efforts of midfielder Ryan Edwards, tasked with the job of marking playmaker Aeron Edwards who was positioned in the pocket behind strikers Ebbe and Byrne. The hosts went close to doubling their lead once more on 77 minutes as Baynes rifled a free kick into the side netting, before the visitors began to throw the kitchen sink at Aber's phenomenal back line. Geoff Kellaway was replaced by Ash Ruane as the game entered the final minutes, but still Aber stood strong and defended their lead admirably. Then, in the fourth minute of additional time, Aeron Edwards earned his side a free kick on the edge of the penalty area where substitute Chris Seargeant stepped up...only to see his strike superbly saved by McCormick - a save that was greeted with the loudest roar of the night from the home supporters. It turned out to be one of the final acts of the night as referee Huw Jones blew for full time to mark a magnificent victory for the seasiders on a great night at Park Avenue. 

It was a truly memorable night for the black and greens, and fitting that on an evening celebrating 50 years of the Aberystwyth Junior League, that local teenagers Mathew Jones and Lee Jenkins combined for the winning goal. The victory means Aber have taken maximum points from their last three league games, and climb into the league's top six once more as they now turn their attentions to next Sunday's trip to the capital to face Cardiff Met.

JD Welsh Premier League
Friday 2nd November (7:45p.m Kick Off)
Aberystwyth Town v The New Saints 

Aberystwyth Town will look to continue their recent fine run of form as they welcome JD Welsh Premier League Champions The New Saints to Park Avenue on Friday evening. Aber have collected seven points from their last three league games, conceding just once in that time, and will look to continue their push for a top six place under the Friday night lights at Park Avenue.

Manager Nev Powell admitted his delight at the seven days his side enjoyed last week, picking up two crucial away victories at Llandudno and Llanelli. After Friday’s win at Stebonheath, Powell commented; “We probably would have taken four points from our last two fixtures in all honesty, so for us to pick up six points, I’m absolutely over the moon”.
Those two victories, along with a spirited performance at home to Caernarfon three weeks ago have given the black and greens a real platform to push on during the second half of this first phase of the season, as they target a top six finish when the league splits in January.

A big part of that push will be continued strong home form this season, with Aber already beating Europa League contenders Bala Town in a classic encounter at home earlier this season. They’ll be keen to make Park Avenue an intimidating place once more as they face their toughest challenge on home turf so far this season with the visit of the league champions. The black and greens welcome back Rio Ahmadi for Friday night’s clash after suspension but lose Paulo Mendes for the game after his red card at Llanelli last week.

Friday’s visitors The New Saints travel to Park Avenue sitting at the top of the JD Welsh Premier League, but by perhaps a narrower margin than most would have expected at this point in the season. The Saints have already been beaten twice away from home this season – at Connah’s Quay and Cardiff Met and snatched a point away at Newtown last weekend with a late penalty. Nevertheless, Scott Ruscoe’s full-time outfit will undoubtedly provide Aber with their sternest test of the season thus far at Park Avenue, having convincingly beaten the seasiders 6-0 at Park Hall in the reverse fixture back in September.

In what promises to be another classic encounter under the Friday night lights, Aber will again be calling on their Green Army of supporters to get behind them as they continue to chase a top six finish in the league. Kick off at Park Avenue is at 7:45p.m, and admission costs £8 adults, £5 concessions and £2 for u16’s. Friday’s game will also mark the 50-year celebration of the Aberystwyth Junior League, so be sure to come down to Park Avenue and soak up the atmosphere! 

Welsh Women's League
Sunday 21st October 2018
Penybont Ladies 0 Aberystwyth Town Ladies 2

Aber remained top of the Welsh Womens's League as second half goals from Caroline Cooper and Tania Wylde were enough to earn the Black and Greens a fourth consecutive victory writes Steven Brookes.

After an impressive win against Merthyr Town in the FAW Women's Cup, a trip to Penybont was next up for Town as full attention turned back to the league. The visitors started the better of the two sides: Caroline Cooper's curling left footed strike was comfortably saved whilst Aber's top-scorer Tania Wylde saw her effort go wide of the post. The best chance of the half fell to Naomi Evans. The forward managed to get behind Penybont's back line but her shot went narrowly wide of the far post. Cooper then came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock, Evans pulling the ball back to the midfielder on the edge of the area, and her first time strike beat the goalkeeper but bounced back off the crossbar.

Aber were looking even stronger in the second half and eventually found the breakthough. After Tania Wylde was tripped, the visitors were awarded a free kick and up stepped Cooper who was able to find the top corner with yet another excellent strike. The Black and Greens were then awarded a penalty just two minutes later when a Penybont defender was deemed to have handled the ball inside the box and Wylde confidently converted to score her ninth goal in just six matches. Cooper nearly grabbed her second of the match after an excellent pass by Tania Wylde, the ex-Cardiff City player was one-on-one with the goalkeeper who came out quickly, and Cooper fired over the bar.  The away side were dominating and despite one good save by Aber's Ffion Ashman, it was the team in green that came closest to scoring the game's third goal: Kelly Thomas had a header cleared off the line whilst Charlotte Bowden hit the side netting after doing well to dribble through the defence.

As well as a fourth victory in a row, the result meant Aber have now scored an impressive ten goals in those four games and conceded none. Next up is a trip to the capital on Sunday 4th November to face Cardiff-based side Willows Ladies.

JD Welsh Premier League
Friday 26th October 
Llanelli Town 1-3 Aberystwyth Town

Aberystwyth Town picked up their second away JD Welsh Premier League victory in the space of a week as they ran out deserved 3-1 winners against Llanelli Town at Stebonheath on Friday evening. First half goals from Paulo Mendes (3) and Ryan Wollacott (41) were enough to give the seasiders a slender half time lead after the hosts had equalised, before Geoff Kellaway's (90) late strike ensured all three points would be heading back to Aber on Friday evening.

With many of Aber's players facing lengthy travel delays on their way down to Stebonheath Friday afternoon, kick off was delayed until 7:55p.m - preparation that was far from ideal for Nev Powell's side ahead of the game. Nevertheless, Town came out of the blocks with a flying start as midfield man Paulo Mendes collected the ball on the edge of the penalty area before rounding Llanelli 'keeper Oliver Davies and sliding the ball into the empty net after just 3 minutes and make it 0-1. It was a dream start for the black and greens, but just two minutes later the hosts were level as Terry McCormick came to collect a corner kick through a crowded penalty area, only to see the ball ricochet into the net for 1-1. It was a frantic start to the game, but the visitors slowly got to grips with things despite Mendes going into the book for a cynical pull back on Jordan Davies. On 20 minutes Aber created an opening as Declan Walker earned a free kick on the edge of the box, where Mathew Jones stepped up and hit his first attempt into the wall, but curled his second effort inches over as the ball clipped the crossbar on it's way out for a goal kick. Soon after, Town missed another good opportunity when Walker was inches away from connecting with Jones' corner kick inside the six yard area. Aber looked dangerous with every attack, and on 40 minutes they were handed a fantastic opportunity to go ahead once more as Ryan Edwards was tripped in the box by Anthony Nelson, with referee Nick Pratt pointing to the spot. Captain Declan Walker stepped up to take the penalty, but slipped on his approach and 'keeper Oliver Davies was able to make the save. But just 90 seconds later, Aber did re-take the lead as Mathew Jones whipped a corner kick into the penalty area where Ryan Wollacott was on hand to head the ball into the bottom corner and make it 1-2. It was a lead the visitors deserved as they went into the break on the front foot, backed by Aber's excellent vocal support. 

The black and greens started the second half with an added confidence to their play, but were dealt a major blow on 52 minutes when Paulo Mendes slid in a fraction too late and received a second yellow card and his marching orders from referee Pratt. It looked as though it could become a 'backs to the wall' job for the seasiders with 35 minutes of the half still remaining, but on 58 minutes they very nearly extended their lead when Joe Phillips knocked the ball back for Ash Ruane, who's shot was blocked at the last second by Dan Alfei. On 63 minutes, any hopes the hosts had of using the extra man to their advantage disappeared as Anthony Finselbach slid in on Joe Phillips and received his second yellow of the night, with Llanelli also being reduced to 10 men. From then on, Aber took control of the game and could have extended their lead on 68 minutes when Joe Phillips stung the palms of Davies, before he made way for substitute Geoff Kellaway. On 80 minutes, Ash Ruane was played through on goal by Walker only to be denied by Davies' outstretched hand at the last second, and on 82 minutes Walker's shot was somehow blocked on the goal line by defender Carlos Indja and the visitors still weren't able to put the game to bed. The Town supporters in the stand began to bite their fingernails, wondering whether their team would see the win through, but as the game entered stoppage time Geoff Kellaway was played through by Walker and he slotted the ball clinically beyond the reach of Davies to secure all three points and make it 1-3. 

Aber's players, management and supporters celebrated victory together at full time on what was another great night for the black and greens, happy in the fact that they had moved into the league's top six positions - with 17 points on the board after 12 games. Town will now be keen to extend their 3 game unbeaten run as they enter a tough run of fixtures, starting at home against league champions The New Saints at Park Avenue next Friday evening. 

Teams:
Llanelli Town: O Davies, Nelson (70), Alfei, Indja, C Jones, J Davies, Evans, Owen, Follows (85), Loveridge. Subs: Khaton (85), Jenkins (70), Rees

Aberystwyth Town: McCormick, Baynes, Wollacott, Goodall (90), S Edwards, Walker, Jones, Mendes, Phillips (70), R Edwards, Ruane. Subs: Rimmer (90), Kellaway (70), Blake, Rowe, Coleridge, Jenkins, Morgan

JD Welsh Premier League
Friday 26th October (7:45p.m) 
Llanelli Town v Aberystwyth Town 

Aberystwyth Town face their second away JD Welsh Premier League fixture in six days as they travel South to face Llanelli Town in another crunch clash under the Friday night lights at Stebonheath. The seasiders picked up a vital three points on the road at Llandudno last Saturday, thanks to Declan Walker's late penalty, and Nev Powell's side now have the opportunity to climb into the league's top six with victory on Friday evening. 

Aber have kept two clean sheets in their last two JD Welsh Premier League fixtures, and conceded just two goals in their last four league games, an aspect that has pleased manager Neville Powell greatly. "Having Alan Goodall back in the side has helped massively with our defensive organisation, we've worked on our shape a lot in training recently and having Alan's experience in there next to Ryan Wollacott is fantastic. We've got a very good back four, and having the experience of Terry McCormick behind them has also benefitted us". 

Along with the back five, the black and greens have looked far more solid in midfield of late, with Mathew Jones and Paulo Mendes providing the base for Town's attackers to play with an added freedom in the final third. Powell added; "If we can keep teams out and continue to maintain a clean sheet, then more often than not we're going to pinch a goal at the other end with players like Ryan Edwards, Ash Ruane and Rio Ahmadi, who can hurt teams". 

Aber will need to show their defensive mettle and organisation once more on Friday evening as they face a stern test against a Llanelli side who currently lie bottom of the JD Welsh Premier League. Andy Hill's side have taken just seven points from their opening eleven league games, but are still just one point from safety in the league table. The reds are missing several key players through suspension for Friday's clash, including former seasiders Joe Clarke and Kurtis March, as well as defensive pairing Chris Thomas and Scott Tancock. Aber striker Rio Ahmadi is also missing through suspension.  In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Aber came from behind at half time to win 3-1 with second half goals from Rio Ahmadi, Geoff Kellaway and Joe Phillips. 

In what is sure to be thrilling game, kick off at Stebonheath is at 7:45p.m and Llanelli's postcode is listed as SA15 1EY. Aber's vocal Green Army of supporters look set to be in full voice as they aim to cheer on the black and greens to another positive result away from home!
