Wrexham started strongly eager to better their last match against Ruthinand and despite being only the second match of the new year they were soon playing very possesively working well as a team to try and work out weaknesses. However with having only ten players Wrexham were all ready at a disadvantage so it was a very defence match. Ruthin having gained possession continued to push until they scored despite Sarah Jones' best efforts. The girls then tryed to capitalise on the restart rearanaging the order of play slightly: Joanne Turner and Sarah Williams soon had the ball in Ruthin's 25 but were unable to score due to amazing saves from the Ruthin goalkeeper. On the counterattack Ruthin belted back up the pitch, but strong defending from Amy Howell and Clare Newport held them at bay. Joanna Swan and Jess Bailey played their socks off in midfieldeliminating many of Ruthin's attackers with welltimed first touches to one another.With such equally matched teams the first half continued to be end to end play neither team wishing to conceed a goal.

This marvellous scene shows a Wrexham that has since lost some of its unified Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes with its banks and traditional shop fronts. The Golden Lion pub on the right had its earliest licence in 1684, became subdivided into shops but reverted to an inn again by 1740. Originally timber-framed, it was rebuilt again in brick, as seen here.

In June 2003, the Caia Park estate in Wrexham was hit by riots. Tension between Iraqi Kurds and locals centred on one of the estates' pubs escalated and resulted in petrol bombs and other missiles being hurled at police trying to restore order. 51 local residents received prison sentences. Wrexham as a whole has since seen a vast influx (10-15,000) of Polish and Portuguese migrant workers but there has been no repeat of the events of 2003.
