The Member of the Senedd for Monmouth, Peter Fox, has criticised the FAW’s restructure plans -which have not chosen Abergavenny Women’s FC to participate in the Welsh Women’s League - as a “devastating blow”.
The decision comes despite the Monmouthshire football team statistically ranking as the fourth most successful club in the competition’s history.
Mr Fox MS said: “I am deeply concerned by this disturbing development and, as a result, it should come as no surprise to the FAW that the local community is outraged.
“It makes little sense that, despite the club finishing in fourth position, it has unjustifiably been overlooked from participating in the Welsh Women’s League. This is nothing short of a devastating blow.
“Abergavenny Women’s FC consistently upholds the true value for sport and is a vital asset to the Monmouth constituency. Therefore, I have written to the Minister for Sport to see how this unfortunate circumstance can be rectified.”
