      1. THAT’S IT. Gwalia WIN 2 – 0 against league leaders Hashtag.
        A momentous result.

        FULL TIME.

      2. 96'

        No one is watching the game, everyone is watching the ref. When will he blow?

      3. 95'

        Hayley West sees a long range effort wide. Gwalia are on the brink of victory now.

      4. 92'

        Hashtag go close. One goal could change the mood drastically here,

      5. Yellow Card

        Chloe Lloyd

      6. 90'

        We have played the full 90. Now it’s an anxious wait to see when the ref blows the whistle.

      7. 86'

        Sammy Rowland is down so there is a little stop in play. It only means there will be more added on at the end. It must already be a large amount.

        Meanwhile, Callie Jones is replaced by Shurima Vine after an immense display.

      8. 81'

        Casi Gregson is coming off to an heroic applause. Libby Piggott will replace the second goal scorer.

      9. 80'

        There are ten minutes left now. Gwalia are so close to a phenomenal result.

      10. 74'

        GWALIA HAVE DOUBLED THE LEAD! Gregson shakes off a defender which allows Gready to set free Manon Pearce who squares the ball back to Gregson. She leaves a defender behind before slotting home.

        Unbelievable.

      11. Goal!

        74'

        Casi Gregson

      12. 72'

        Bonnie Gready has come on for Keira O’Keefe, who has had a superb game today.

      13. 71'

        Chance.

        Hashtag go really close with a header. They have also elected to bring on Ellie Moore.

      14. 70'

        Tia Asker ventures forward from left back to hit a shot first time but Frankie Angel once again makes a stop.

      15. 65'

        Gregson gets up the left and manages to pull a ball across goal. But Pearce is prevented from steering it goalward by some good Hashtag defending.

      16. 64'

        It looks as if the Welsh international will continue, albeit under a bit of distress.

      17. 60'

        Approaching an hour into this match and Gwalia are beginning to hang on. They will take every reprieve their attack can give them.

        Meanwhile, concern for their goalkeeper as O’Sullivan-Jones goes down needing treatment.

      18. 57'

        Hashtag launch a barrage of ball into the box culminating in a chance for Baigent, who heads over.

      19. 53'

        Ruby Scahill looked to be through on goal on the half way line but was seemingly pulled down. But the referee saw no wrongdoing and waved it away.

      20. 52'

        CHANCE!

        Pearce has a header at the back post! She heads it down and Angel makes a wonderful save to deny her.

        That was a real opportunity for Gwalia.

      21. 47'

        Shots!

        Gregson’s strike is blocked then Ruby Scahill has a pop that flies over the bar.

      22. 47'

        Hashtag get on the offensive immediately. The atmosphere is tense already. We are in for a breathtaking second half.

      23. 46'

        We are back underway!

      24. 45'

        HALF TIME!

        Gwalia United are one half away from one of the great results of the season. They are worthy of their lead. Cole’s strike is one you can’t stop watching.

        But the Tags haven’t gone scoreless in a game since November. Incidentally, that’s the last time they lost. The side from Essex must win to keep their title race alive, but a win for the Welsh side would almost certainly guarantee their safety.

        Stay tuned for a huge second half coming up.

      25. 45'

        Penalty?

        What seems a blatant handball in the area is called away by the ref. Gwalia United fans are aggrieved. We’ll have to watch it back.

      26. 43'

        Pearce takes a wild swing at the ball and injures herself in the process.

        Luckily she’s back up. One of Gwalia’s star performers this year.

      27. 38'

        A quiet five minutes has followed Baigent’s chance. But the next ten could be significant. Gwalia have deserved their lead so far, but they’ll have to work hard to take it into the break with them.

      28. 32'

        Chance.

        Wictoria Fronc plays a good ball into the middle and Sophie Baigent attacks it. She gets there ahead of O’Sullivan-Jones but her header goes just the right side of the crossbar, if you are a Gwalia fan.

      29. 28'

        Casi Gresgson is unstoppable in this first half. She is beating defenders left and right. This time she works space for her own effort and Angel makes the save.

      30. WHAT A GOAL!

        Casi Gregson runs powerfully down the field and lays it off the Pearce. She then sets it back to Elena Cole who strikes a perfect curler from miles out. Gwalia LEAD!

      31. Goal!

        25'

        Elena Cole

      32. 23'

        Chance.

        Hashtag almost scored.

        Lloyd’s header bounces unfortunately off her own player. The deflection falls to a woman in yellow who hits the post from close range.

      33. 20'

        Shot!

        Good link up play by Gregson Cole and Pearce as they pass the ball around on the edge of the Hashtag area. Pearce eventually cuts inside and hits one. It travels just wide.

      34. 15'

        Gwalia United have had a few attacks now, but haven’t managed a shot yet. On the other side, the visitors seem to be shooting whenever and wherever they can as O’Sullivan-Jones makes another stop.

      35. 13'

        It was panic stations for Gwalia as they lost the ball in a precarious position. But captain Chloe Lloyd stepped in with a brilliant tackle before Cerys Jones came across to stop the danger.

        It’s been an exciting start to the game.

      36. 8'

        Tia Asker gives the ball to Keira O’Keefe on the left. The Welsh under 21 then goes on a seismic run down the wing, taking on players and getting all the way into the area before losing the ball.

      37. 6'

        O’Keefe wins Gwalia a free kick in a decent area.

        Lloyd delivers straight into the hands of Frankie Angel.

      38. 4'

        A bouncing ball falls to Fleming in the area who registers a second attempt, but it’s a tame effort that causes Gwalia’s goalkeeper no trouble.

      39. 2'

        Chelise Fleming fires the game’s first shot over the bar.

      40. 1'

        We are underway!
