Middlesborough are always a tough team to beat, they finished 3^rd in the league last season and beat one of the favourite teams last week.
Caernarfon had a full squad for the first time this season, with the return of 2 old players, Ailsa Orlik and Manon Lloyd Williams, it added much needed experience to the team.

First half was dominated by Town, they played really good football which they hadn't done so far this season.
Middlesborough’s keeper was sent off after 15mins, she handled outside the box. Although Town played really good football, the visitors got the break and scored first after 25mins.
The Cofis’ heads didn't go down and they pulled one back through Shan Jones after Iona Williams played a through ball from midfield. Town were unlucky to go in 1-1 at half time and knew there were much more to come in the second half.

In the second half, Caernarfon improved on their 1^st half performance. They played the ball around and made the 10 players work hard. Manon LLoyd Williams's pace down the right hand side caused problems all game, she combined well with Becky Williams and Manon got her reward when she scored from a tight angle after running 40yds with the ball.

Shan scored her second shortly afterwards when she was in one v one with the keeper after good work from Ceryl Jones in midfield. Middlesborough were struggling with Town's pace with Shan Jones, Ailsa Orlik and Manon running at them. And also with the work rate of Yasmin Leung and Siwan Elenid in midfield, and Ceryl's skill, the home team were dominating all over.

Shan scored her hat-trick on 70mins with another 1v1 with the keeper. Shan then lost her head and showed inexperience as she lashed out at a player after being fouled numerous times. She received her 2^nd yellow card and both teams were down to 10 players with 10mins left to play.

CT were worthy winners with a flattering score of 4-1. Good all round performance by all the players, Kim Broadbent and Cerys Gadd kept the defence tight and gave Middlesborough no opportunity to get through at all.
