V WinningtonPark 1s

Wrexham Women 1s 2 - 4 Winnington Park 1
The first game of the new season pitted Wrexham against the new arrivals to the league - Winnington Park!
The first half started very well for Wrexham with some fantastic passing from the whole team, getting the ball up to Winnington’s D. A well-set press from the Wrexham Forwards led to Jo Campbell winning the ball and scoring Wrexham’s first goal of the season from a rebound from the keeper!
However, Winnington had a secret weapon: an extremely skilled forward brought on after 20 minutes who, upon entering the D, scored a ridiculous rebound off of Meg Jones in goal.
Wrexham had constant attacking chances with brilliant shots from Claudia Royle, Helen Roberts, and Georgia Moores but to no avail. Frustratingly for the Wrexham defence, Winnington’s star forward was a beast with the ball, scoring a straight strike into Wrexhams net.
Half time: 1-2 Winnington Park

Wrexham had a strong second half with some awesome passing up the wings from Helen Roberts, Claudia Royle, and Eimear Flanagan.
Some solid defending from Amy Jones, Raz Whittaker, and Lianne Preston and an incredible goal line save by Claire Harvey kept Winnington Park out of the goal for the most part but two rocket shots from the star forward found the back of Wrexhams net.
However, Wrexham did not give up and Claudia Royle carried the ball up to the D, scoring an awesome straight strike in the last 2 minutes!

A frustrating start to the season as the score did not reflect how the game was played.
