Llanrumney Uni Fields
SWWGL Division 1

This weekend the Bluebelles first team found themselves back home at Llanrumney Uni Fields after two league games on the road and they were looking to continue their excellent start to the season. The pitch was in perfect condition and the Cardiff side were in a confident mood heading into the fixture.

It took only 5 minutes for the deadlock to be broken against a young Rhydyfelin team in what would prove to be a routine afternoon for the Bluebelles. Following her hat trick in her last outing, Molly Chapman picked up where she left off and scored her first of the afternoon to make it 1-0. Soon after, the lead was doubled as Chantelle Chapman, returning to the side after a three game absence due to a hamstring injury, also found herself back on the score sheet. Midfielder, Becca Jones who is making a habit of scoring this season, also got in on the action but it was Molly Chapman who stole with show with another 5 goals before the half time whistle which saw the Bluebelles head into the break with the scoreline at 8-0.

The comprehensive lead saw manager Adam Hewings make a number of changes but there was no let up in the level of performance from the Cardiff side with the whole squad keen to make an impression. The defensive unit put in another solid performance to keep the Bluebelles' clean sheet intact and although a few chances were spurned, further goals were added from Hannah Moger, Caitlin Thomas (2), Amelia Davidson and Chantelle Chapman again to make the final score 13-0 to the Bluebelles. The headlines though belonged to Molly Chapman for her six first half goals and she deservedly picked up the player of the match award.

The game also saw striker Erin Prynne make her Bluebelles debut. Her intellectual movement, which saw her play a part in numerous goals, will have impressed manager Hewings who has yet another excellent attacking option to call upon. Hewings also added after the game that the young Rhydyfelin team's attitude, despite the big score line, was to be commended.

Next week's fixture list will see a mouth watering top of the table clash as the Bluebelles travel away to fellow unbeaten side Coed Duon.

The development ladies saw their planned fixture vs Barry Town Development cancelled and the Bluebelles awarded the points as Barry were unable to field a team. Next up for Chris Hooper's side is an away trip against Britton Ferry Development.
