A chilly February afternoon in Neath brought another major step forward for the Haverfordwest County Walking Football Ladies, who delivered their most complete set of performances so far this season. Four matches, four wins, twelve goals scored, none conceded — and with it, they moved top of League One outright.
The day opened with a commanding 5–0 victory over Llangennech Reds, a performance that immediately set the tone. The movement off the ball was sharp, the passing crisp, and the finishing clinical, with goals shared between Laura, Marie, and Leanne. It was the kind of confident, flowing football the squad has been building towards over recent months.
A composed 2–0 win against Cwmbran Blues followed, with Jan Manning and Laura on the scoresheet. The team showed patience and control throughout, pressing intelligently and maintaining their structure even when the game tightened. That maturity carried into the third match, a 3–0 win over Fleur de Lis Pinks, where the rotation, spacing, and understanding between players created chance after chance.
The final fixture — a 2–0 victory over Fleur de Lis Blacks — completed a clean sweep. By this point, Haverfordwest were playing with real rhythm, spending long spells in the final third and recycling possession through Siân whenever needed to reset and build again. It was calm, organised football, and it paid off in both goals and control.
On‑the‑day manager Paul Williams praised the collective performance, noting the quality of football was the best he had seen from the group. He highlighted the way the squad worked for each other, the growing ruthlessness in front of goal, and the continued strength of a defence that has yet to be breached. Women’s team coach Leanne Jones echoed those sentiments, pointing to the intelligent movement and the dominance the team showed across all four matches.
The defensive record remains flawless. Fifteen games into the season, Haverfordwest have still not conceded, and that platform — combined with a surge in goals — has taken them clear at the top of the table with the strongest goal difference in the league.
It was also a day that reflected the depth and unity of the squad. Jan B and Shelley played their part throughout the round, rotating seamlessly with the rest of the team, while Amanda and Gian added their support from the sidelines. That blend of contribution and encouragement helped create the strong sense of togetherness that carried through the whole day.
As the season progresses, Haverfordwest County Walking Football Ladies look increasingly assured. The standards are rising, the performances are strengthening, and the belief within the group continues to grow. With momentum firmly behind them, they head into the next round not just unbeaten — but leading the way.
