Rainbow appears as captain scores the day after her father and club's chairman died

Aberystwyth Town Women defeated Wrexham Women 2-0 to book a spot in the Genero Adran Trophy semi-finals on Sunday afternoon, but it was the scorer of Aberystwyth's opening goal, Amy Jenkins, who seized hearts around the country.

Sunday marked an incredibly emotional occasion for Jenkins and her team, as the club honoured Jenkins’ late father and former Aber Town Women’s coach Kevin ‘Bones’ Jenkins, who sadly died on Saturday morning.

The team paid tribute to the beloved Penrhyncoch FC chairman by donning black armbands for the match and, as per the family’s request, holding a minute’s applause in memory of Jenkins ahead of kick-off at Park Avenue for their quarter-final clash against Wrexham.
