Wrexham Women seek fourth straight win at Briton Ferry

Wrexham Women travel to Briton Ferry on Sunday 27 September seeking a fourth win from four Adran Premier matches. Jenny Sugarman’s team maintained a perfect start by beating Barry Town United 7-0 at The Rock last weekend.

A different start for the hosts

Briton Ferry have four points from the opening three games under new manager Mark Murison. Wrexham’s club preview identifies a side that finished fifth last season and won the Adran Premier Plate Conference, after taking second place in its first campaign back in the top flight.

That contrast gives Sunday’s fixture its context: Wrexham are trying to extend an unbroken winning run, while Ferry are looking to build on a mixed opening to the league season. The visitors’ seven-goal win is their most recent result, not a prediction of how the away match will unfold.

Kearle offers more than a scoring threat

Meg Kearle is the home attacker singled out in Wrexham’s preview. She scored six goals and supplied eight assists in 17 Adran Premier appearances last season. Her first goal of the new campaign came against Barry on the opening day.

Those figures make the service she provides as relevant as her finishing. Wrexham’s task will include limiting the chances she creates for others, rather than judging her threat only by this season’s scoring total.

The previous meeting under Sugarman

Sugarman’s first competitive match in charge was also away to Ferry. Wrexham fell 2-0 behind after half an hour but recovered to win 5-2 at Old Road. It is a reminder that a successful outcome in this fixture has previously required Wrexham to respond to a difficult start.
