Report | Aberystwyth Town Women 1 Swansea City Women 3

Swansea City Women made it four consecutive wins with a comfortable victory over Aberystwyth Town Women in their penultimate game of the Genero Adran Premier season.

Nia Jones opened the scoring early for the visitors, heading home from Taite Trivett's deflected effort.

An own goal from Josie Pugh would double Swansea’s lead soon after, the defender turning Trivett's cross into her own net.

Aberystwyth got a goalback before the break through Lily Moralee-Hughes, but a late long-range strike from Maddy Murray would seal the three points late on.

The Swans have been growing in confidence in recent weeks, and they had the better of the early going here.

Emily Richards had the chance to put them ahead after just three minutes. A brilliant switch ball from Jess Williams found Trivett on the wing, and her delivery ended with Richards firing over.

Sammy Wynne came close two minutes later, watching her curling effort go agonisingly wide of the post.

But the Swans would soon have the early lead their dominance deserved. Trivett’s low effort was met by Aber keeper Chelsea Herbert, but the ball flicked up for Jones to head home her second goal of the season.

Aimee Deacon had the chance to double the advantage 10 minutes later after a good ball from Lucy Finch, but her low effort was stopped by Herbert.

Instead, the Swans second would come from an own goal. Trivett was involved again as her low cross was turned into the Aberystwyth goal by the covering Pugh.

But two minutes later Aberystwyth would halve their deficit after a mix up between Steph Turner and Charlie Haynes allowed Moralee-Hughes the simplest of finishes.

Deacon had the chance to restore the Swans two-goal lead after the break. Wynne laid the ball off for her teammate, but the curling effort flew over the bar.

Aberystwyth swept up the other end and had the chance to level as Moralee-Hughes bore down on goal again, but this time Haynes was able to rush out and collect from her toes.

Trivett came close to a goal of her own, sending a strike over the bar after Katy Hosford’s corner had been punched out to her.

The Swans would continue to be a threat from corners, and Maddy Murray saw an effort cleared off the line from another dangerous set-piece delivery. 

And  it was Murray who would find the back of the net late on, picking the ball up 30 yards from goal before powering a long-range effort beyond Herbert to seal all three points.
