The Wingmakers came away with an important three points against Llanidloes, winning 2-0 to take them joint 2nd in the table.

On a wet and windy day Airbus Women dominated possession throughout but it took until ten minutes into the 2nd half before they were able to break the deadlock against an energetic defence.

With the wind against them it took Airbus a while to settle down and find their rhythm with passes too frequently going astray.

Set pieces, a long throw and a few early corners was the main threat from the home side, which Airbus dealt with on each occasion.

The Llanidloes keeper had a couple of routine saves to make half way through the first half from Sands and Kehoe, but little troubled her. Any through balls were also nullified by the home keeper who was quick to come out of her box and clear.

The away side looked more composed at the start of the 2nd half and with a switxh in formation it didn't take long for them to go in front. Sands was quick to close down a Llanidloes centre back, winning the ball back and instinctively shooting from outside the box. With the keeper's view partially blocked by the defender, she could only watch on as Sands shot rippled the bottom corner of the net.

The goal gave the Wingmakers a spring in their step and just a few minutes later they'd scored again. A corner whipped in at the near post by Kehoe was volleyed into the net by Owen for her first goal of the season.

With Heath and Jones coming off the bench and the home side having to chase the match it opened the game up and allowed Airbus to once again dominate possession. Whilst no further goals were scored it was a much more composed and strong half of football from the Wingmakers, which should give them confidence going into the 2nd half of the season.
