Cambrian United claimed their first ever Genero Adran South victory Aliya Hull’s strike proved decisive in a 1-0 win over Pure Swansea at the M&P Group 3G on Sunday.
Hull, who was making her Cambrian debut after signing from Barry Town United, scored the game’s only goal in the 12th minute as she turned home Niamh Dugan’s cross.
Crucial saves from Cambrian goalkeeper Mackenzie Ellingham for the majority of the contest ensured the Rhondda side earned an historic three points.
Macey Morris scored a hat-trick as Cwmbran Celtic made the perfect start to the new Genero Adran South season with a 4-1 win over Pontypridd United at the Motazone Arena on Sunday.
It was a moment to savour for Pontypridd’s Emilia Bell as the 16-year-old scored her first ever senior goal to put her side ahead five minutes into the second half, but Celtic were immediately level as Morris held off Ffion Evans and slotted home.
Pontypridd goalkeeper Teigan Dinwoodie came off her line to try and deny Morris, who was through one-on-one, but a kind ricochet allowed Morris to apply an easy finish into an empty net and complete the turnaround. American forward Kaitlin Smith fired low into the bottom corner to add a third goal for Celtic before Morris put the result beyond doubt with another close range finish to complete her hat-trick.
Early Genero Adran South leaders Cascade continued their bright start to the season as they triumphed 5-1 against newly-promoted Llanrumney United at the CCB Centre.
Both sides went into half time level as Cascade’s Phoebe Ware had her opening goal cancelled out by former Cardiff City star Charley Hocking, who scored Llanrumney’s first ever Genero Adran South goal. However, Cascade edged back in front eight minutes into the second half thanks to star striker Ellis Lunn, who scored her eighth goal in four games.
Kellan Webb’s side eventually pulled away from their opponents as further goals from Lisa Owen, Daisy Evan-Watkins and Chrystalla Moreton wrapped up another convincing win.
Penybont also made it two wins from their first two league matches as they secured a 2-0 victory over Carmarthen Town at the LHP Stadium.
Penybont took the lead in the 56th minute thanks to a moment of brilliance from captain Maddie Priday, who sent a stunning free-kick from distance over Ffion Ashman and into the net via the underside of the crossbar.
Priday turned provider for Bont’s second goal with nine minutes remaining as her delivery was met by Carys Minton, who rose highest to head home her first competitive goal since January and wrap up all three points for Leon Williams’ side.
