BERRIEW celebrated a 3-1 derby win at home to Welshpool Town in the North Wales League on Sunday.
The match was delayed following an early head injury sustained by Berriew’s Sam Jones and upon resumption of play it was the hosts who broke the deadlock just before the break with Josie Pugh netting against her former club.
Berriew doubled their interval lead with Hannah Richards on target after firing beyond goalkeeper Amy Allen.

An even opening to the second-half was followed by Pugh doubling her tally after capitalising on defensive confusion.
However the Lillies showed their resolve with the returning Lilya Smith and Jo Bliss-Bennett playing influential roles.
Welshpool were back in the game when new signing Kirsty Jones was fouled on the edge of the area and Nat Rowley fired home the resulting free-kick.
Berriew closed ranks to see out the game and ensure local bragging rights belonged to the Rhiewsiders.
Meanwhile TNS crashed to a heavy 5-0 defeat at Swansea City in the Adran Genero Premier with Stacey John-Davis netting twice and further goals from Katy Hosford, Samantha Wynne and Chloe Chivers completing the scoring for the Swans.
