Swansea’s Stacey John pulled one back on 24 minutes, and the hosts pressed for an equaliser, only for Wrexham goalkeeper Liz Craven to thwart Lucy Finch and Aimee Deacon. Jones sealed the win on 59 minutes, latching onto Suckley’s pass to fire home, securing Wrexham’s fourth victory in five matches.
