This win was followed by a 4-2 defeat to Llanelli in the West Wales Women’s Challenge Cup.  Rhian Evans and Jessica Hulse giving Ammanford a two goal lead before Llanelli staged a comeback to go though. 

Back to league action and Ammanford faced top of the table Llanrumney United.  Despite two more goals from Rhian Evans Llanrumney kept their 100% record with a 5-2 win. 

Their last match was another cup game in the SWWGL Women Alun Evans League Cup.  A Rhian Evans hat trick helping Ammanford to a 7-2 win. 

Evans has had a stellar season so far scoring 20 goals and getting six assists.  Evans has scored in all of her last six games including five against Caldicot Town in September.  Evans clearly a key to Ammanford’s attack and will need strong performances from the Ferry defence to keep her quiet in this meeting.
