Genero Adran Leagues Games to Watch: 2 February

With top of the table clashes across all three divisions, an enthralling Sunday afternoon is in store in the Genero Adran Leagues. 

Genero Adran Premier – Cardiff City v Swansea City (Sunday, 2pm)

Old foes Cardiff City and Swansea City will meet for the second time this season when they face off at the Cardiff International Sports Stadium on Sunday. 

It was the Swans who came out on top in the reverse fixture at the Swansea.com Stadium in October, as Stacey John-Davis’ goal earned a 1-0 victory – their third win in the last three derbies. 

However it is Cardiff who sit top of the Genero Adran Premier table ahead of Sunday’s game, four points clear of second-place Briton Ferry Llansawel after a thrilling 4-3 comeback win away at The New Saints last weekend. 

Swansea are in fourth place – eight points behind the Bluebirds with a game in hand – having triumphed 4-0 over Aberystwyth Town last weekend. Another win for Jamie Sherwood’s side on Sunday would confirm their place in this season’s top four. 

Genero Adran Premier – Briton Ferry Llansawel v The New Saints (Sunday, 2pm)

Elsewhere in the Genero Adran Premier top half, second-place Briton Ferry Llansawel host third-place The New Saints at Old Road – with the two sides separated by just a point at kick-off. 

Laura-May Walkley’s late goal earned the Reds a 1-0 win over Aberystwyth Town on Thursday night, which saw them leapfrog TNS in the table and confirm their place in the top four. Rhys James’ side have now won a remarkable 27 consecutive league games at Old Road. 

However, Ferry will be looking for revenge after TNS won 3-2 in the Genero Adran Trophy semi-final between the two sides two weeks ago, when they trailed 2-0 after 81 minutes but staged a stunning late comeback to book their place in the final. That followed a 1-1 draw in the reverse league meeting in October. 

The Saints were involved in another thriller last Sunday as they lost 4-3 to Cardiff City – only their second defeat of the campaign – and are now five points behind top spot with a game in hand. 

Genero Adran North – Connah’s Quay Nomads v Llandudno (Sunday, 2pm)

Connah’s Quay Nomads would take another step closer to the Genero Adran North title with victory over reigning champions Llandudno at The Quay 3G on Sunday. 

The Nomads made it eight wins from eight league matches this season with a 3-0 victory over Flint Town United last weekend and are now 10 points ahead of Llandudno in second after the Seasiders suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to Bangor. 

Three more points for Jordan Parry’s side on Sunday would put the title almost out of Llandudno’s reach, with third-place Llanfair United – 11 points behind the Nomads with two games in hand – the only other side capable of catching the leaders.  

Llandudno were the last team in the Genero Adran North to win away at the Nomads just over a year ago, but the Flintshire side earned a 5-2 comeback victory earlier this season as Polly Wild-McGregor and Ella Jones both scored twice. 

Genero Adran South – Pontypridd United v Cwmbran Celtic (Sunday, 2pm)

The top two also meet in the Genero Adran South as Pontypridd United host league leaders Cwmbran Celtic. 

Celtic are three points clear at the top of the table following a run of three consecutive wins, most recently a 6-1 triumph against Caldicot Town in December. 

Pontypridd missed the chance to go top last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Swansea University, leaving them on 12 points – level with the Swans, Cascade and Penybont in what is shaping up to be fascinating season in the Genero Adran South. 

Lauren Payne scored twice as Ponty picked up a thrilling 4-3 win over Cwmbran Celtic in the reverse fixture in November.
