Cardiff City and Aberystwyth Town meet at Leckwith after both claimed victory on the opening weekend of the Genero Adran Premier campaign to sit second and first respectively in the embryonic table.
Megan Bowen scored twice as the Bluebirds began their title defence with a 3-1 away win over Cardiff Met, while there was a brace for 15-year-old Lily Moralee-Hughes in the Seasiders’ 3-0 home victory against Barry Town United.
Cardiff triumphed in both meetings between the two clubs last season, including a 5-1 win at Park Avenue in their most recent encounter in January.
The New Saints were the other club to earn three points on the opening weekend, emerging as 3-1 winners away at Pontypridd United.
Greg Draper’s side travel down south again this Sunday, as Cardiff Met play hosts at Cyncoed Campus. The Archers were beaten 3-1 by Cardiff City in Daniel Delahay’s first match in charge last week.
Chantelle Teare scored four as TNS won a thrilling encounter 5-4 when the two clubs last met on the final day of last season. It was their second victory over Met in phase two after the Archers had won both meetings in phase one.
Pontypridd United are on home turf for the second week in succession as they welcome newly-promoted Wrexham to USW Sports Park.
Defeat to TNS last week was a first league loss since the beginning of February for the Dragons, who will hope an early injury sustained by captain Holly Broad is not too serious.
Wrexham led 2-0 on their Genero Adran Premier debut against Swansea City last weekend, before eventually having to settle for a 3-3 draw in a thrilling encounter at the Rock.
For the Swans, it is a first home fixture of the campaign as Barry Town United make the trip to Llandarcy. Ceri Phillips’ team will be without last season’s top scorer Stacey John-Davis, who was forced off injured at Wrexham last week.
Barry’s new-look side, which includes former Swansea forward Chloe Tiley and is led by new manager Stevie McCarthy-Campbell, will hope to bounce back from their 3-0 opening day defeat at Aberystwyth.
A John-Davis penalty was enough to earn Swansea a 1-0 victory in this fixture last season, before they triumphed 6-0 at Jenner Park later in the campaign.
