Denbigh Town Ladies’ first game with Aled Davies at the helm ended in defeat on Sunday afternoon with a 5-0 thumping at the hands of Kinmel Bay.

In a torrid afternoon Denbigh couldn’t put any sort of foothold on the game as they allowed five without reply at Central Park.

Davies named three changes from the side that lost by the same scoreline at Caernarfon two weeks previous as Carla Rizzi, Amber Hellon and Tia Adler returned to the XI.

It took three minutes for the first threat at goal when Amy Chesters saw herself through on goal but Emily Morris made a superb last ditch challenge to deny the forward.

Town’s first glimpse of goal followed six minutes later when Ceri Purvis had two great chances miss the target. An effort from the edge of the box flew over the bar before seconds later she went through before dragging the ball wide of the left post.

The deadlock was broken on 17 minutes when Denbigh failed to clear a corner and a return ball was thumped home by Chesters from close range. Now fully on top in this contest Kinmel Bay doubled their advantage on half an hour when Chesters swept the ball into an empty net following an initial stop by goalkeeper Rhian Edwards.

Chesters proved to be a handful for Denbigh throughout the afternoon and almost had her hatrick on 32 minutes only to be denied by a superb save from Edwards before Rizzi made a vital block from the follow up. However, two minutes later it was three when Seren Williams struck from range beating the keeper for the third.

Edwards was called into action again on 42 minutes when on the left Chesters hit a low effort across goal only for it to be tipped wide superbly by the custodian making her home debut.

Half-Time: Denbigh Town 0-3 Kinmel Bay

13 minutes after the restart things continued in a downward trend for Denbigh when Lucy Perry followed in a rebound following a shot initially pushed away by Edwards to put the game to bed.

Denbigh’s first chance of the second half took until the 71st minute when Hellon’s strike from the edge of the box was brilliantly tipped on to the crossbar by the goalkeeper. Less than a minute later Purvis had an effort of her own thwarted by Shelby Wild in the Bay goal.

This was certainly Town’s best spell of the game with Purvis forcing a save at the near post on 74 minutes after being pushed wide by the shadowing defender but Denbigh just couldn’t find the back of the net.

The result was topped off with 11 minutes to play when Chesters netted her third and Kinmel’s fifth in an onslaught of an afternoon.
