Spirited performance by the young Ladies team books them a place in the Final

Wednesday evening our Ladies took the trip to Llangefni Town for their NEWFA Cup Semi-Final.

Llangefni took the lead within 15 minutes, when Coulsen put the hosts ahead.

Airbus worked hard and on 41 minutes they got their rewards when a great cross from McDonald found White who scored with a brilliant header to equalise for the Wingmakers.

The introduction of Dykes and Vickers made a great impact.

With 15 minutes to go Dykes gave Airbus the lead when Vickers played a ball over the Llangefni defence, for Dykes to run through and finish superbly into the top corner.

With 12 minutes of the 90 remaining, Airbus confirmed their place in the Final for the second season running.

White scoring her second of the game, great combination play down the right allowed Ellis to find White to make the score 3-1.

Manager Lee Starkey had the following to say on the Semi-Final victory, “We are very proud of the girls performance tonight.

The squad was nearly all under 18 years old, so to get a result away, against a good side like Llangefni in a semi final, is a great achievement.

Both sides must be given credit for producing such a good quality and entertaining game on a tricky pitch due to the freezing conditions.”

The Ladies will take on Connah's Quay Nomads after they booked their place in the Final following a victory over Llanfair Town.

A venue and kick off time will be confirmed in due course
