The Football Association of Wales has refuted allegations of favouritism and maltreatment following the folding of Abergavenny Women from the Welsh top-flight, a league in which Wrexham Women are set to enter following their promotion from the Adran North earlier this season.
Abergavenny Women were relegated from the Adran Premier, the women’s top-flight in Wales, after a turbulent season that saw the club fined over £2000 and subject to heavy points deductions due to alleged contraventions of FAW guidelines, leaving the club marooned at the table’s bottom with just two points on the final day.
And the club released a statement on Tuesday morning confirming the club, rather than returning to the Adran South, is set to fold, with the prospect of competition next season “an impossible task to continue” as “the cards are stacked against us”. The club added: “We believe we are not all playing under the same rules”.
