Wrexham forward Ava Suckley says it was “surreal” to score at the Stok Racecourse – but was left frustrated by Adran Premier defeat to Swansea City Women.
Wrexham remain without a point in this season’s top flight after Swansea beat the Red Dragons 3-2 in front of a crowd of more than 1,000 on Sunday.
Suckley, 20, lifted hopes with a well-taken goal which made it 1-1 10 minutes before half-time, only for the visitors to score twice in the second half.
Rosie Hughes netted what proved to be a late consolation goal for Wrexham.
On her goal, Wrexham fan Suckley said: “I don’t think I’ve felt anything like it, coming here week-in, week-out, watching the men’s team – to score here was surreal.
“To have so many young fans here is amazing. I wouldn’t have thought anything like this would have happened, all these kids to come out and watch. I’m just glad to be inspiring another generation.
“But it is frustrating not to get any points. We stepped up from last weekend but three losses is a bit of a confidence downer. But we’ll work hard in training and hopefully get the three points next week.”
Wrexham boss Steve Dale was unhappy at conceding two set-piece goals.
He said: “We need to click together and get more momentum in games and get after teams a little bit. The performance was much improved from last week but we have to move on and get ready for Aberystwyth next week.”
