Genero Adran Premier round-up | Cardiff City conclude title-winning campaign with late win

Cardiff City concluded their title-winning campaign in the Genero Adran Premier with a 3-2 win over Briton Ferry Llansawel at the Cardiff City Stadium. 

Kerry Walklett scored her first ever goal for the Bluebirds to open the scoring on 25 minutes, picking out the bottom corner with a first time finish from the edge of the box after good work from Lily Billingham. 

Ferry responded immediately as Megan Kearle sent an outrageous volley from distance over Ceryn Chamberlain and via the underside of the crossbar. 

Cardiff restored their lead shortly before half-time when Ffion Price played the ball over the top to Fiona Barry who raced through on goal and finished past Courtney Young, but the visitors levelled again on 69 minutes when Tija Richardson’s header from Jess Denscombe’s corner deflected in against her former club. 

The champions’ winning goal came in the 90th minute as Nieve Jenkins bundled home the rebound after Young could only parry Price’s long range free-kick, ensuring that the Bluebirds finished 10 points clear of second-place Ferry in the table. 

The New Saints achieved a record third-place finish as Lexi Jones’ late strike secured a 1-0 win over Wrexham at Park Hall. 

Del Morgan, making her final league appearance for Wrexham, made a number of impressive saves to keep the score goalless before her side almost took the lead when Rosie Hughes’ strike hit the crossbar and Carra Jones’ effort struck the post. 

Teenager Jones then popped up with the decisive goal for TNS in the 83rd minute, receiving Chantelle Teare’s cross and finishing past Morgan. 

Swansea City concluded a challenging campaign with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Aberystwyth Town at Llandarcy. 

Emily Richards opened the scoring for the Swans by firing the ball home in the 11th minute for her first league goal since November, but Aberystwyth levelled just three minutes later when Carys Bufton broke through on goal and finished well. 

The hosts restored their lead in the 25th minute as Taite Trivett robbed the ball off Aber goalkeeper Chelsea Herbert and found the net. 

A fifth consecutive win was wrapped up with two goals in the final 10 minutes of the contest, Jess Williams powering a header home from Katy Hosford’s corner before Stacey John-Davis rounded Herbert to add her name to the scoresheet. 

Erin Murray scored twice against her former club as Barry Town United triumphed 2-0 over relegated Cardiff Met at Cyncoed. 

Murray’s first of the afternoon arrived nine minutes into the second half as the forward guided her header beyond Charlotte Smith from Lucy Attwood’s cross. 

The forward thought she made it a quickfire double when she found the net again on the hour mark, only for the offside flag to be raised, but she was not to be denied in the 68th minute as she made no mistake finishing the rebound from Ingrid Aadland’s saved effort.
