Airbus Girls U17s travelled to Connah’s Quay for a tough away fixture that turned into a full‑blooded, physical battle. Despite the 4-1 scoreline, Airbus delivered a performance full of determination, strength, and quality.

Nomads opened the scoring with a sharp move to make it 1-0 but Airbus responded superbly. Their physicality began to take control, winning duels all over the pitch and forcing Nomads into rushed clearances.

The equaliser came through Freya Collins, finishing confidently after a clever, well‑timed assist from juliet collis, who slipped her through with a perfectly weighted pass. That made it 1-1, and Airbus looked the stronger side for most of the first half.

Nomads’ second goal — making it 2-1 at half‑time came from a break that looked very close to offside. The flag stayed down, much to the frustration of the Airbus bench.

Airbus started the second half with good intent, but a brief switch‑off at the back proved costly. Nomads took advantage, scoring their third — again with a clear hint of offside in the build‑up, but the referee waved play on.

From there, Airbus pushed bodies forward and kept battling, but Nomads added a fourth late on as the visitors chased the game. The scoreline didn’t reflect how competitive and physical the match truly was.

Airbus showed character, strength, and real quality, a performance that deserved far more than the final numbers suggested.

Player of the Match: Scarlet Mooney

Several players stood out for Airbus, but Scarlet Mooney claimed Player of the Match. She was relentless, fearless in challenges, and constantly driving the team forward. A standout performance in a demanding away fixture.

Airbus Girls U17s may not have taken the win, but they absolutely earned respect. Physical, disciplined, and never backing down, they pushed Nomads all game. Performances like this show exactly what the squad is capable of.
Well done all!
