Another action packed Sunday awaits in the Genero Adran Leagues, including relegation six pointers and title charges. Here are the key games to keep an eye on.
Genero Adran Premier – The New Saints vs Wrexham (Sunday, 2pm)
Wrexham aim to maintain pressure on Genero Adran Premier leaders Cardiff City when they travel to face local derby opponents The New Saints at Park Hall on Sunday.
Wrexham head into this fixture after they earned a 4-1 win over TNS just one week ago, which was the perfect response to their 2-1 loss to Cardiff in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup semi-finals at the beginning of March. The Red Dragons are currently one point behind Cardiff but have a game in hand, so will be hoping to continue momentum in an attempt to lift their first ever Genero Adran Premier title.
It is already guaranteed that TNS will have to settle for a fourth-place finish in the Championship Conference after a three-match losing run in Phase Two so far. Gibraltar international Caitlin Chapman has been a bright spark for Saints recently with four goals in her last three games.
Prior to Wrexham’s 4-1 win over TNS last weekend, both sides enjoyed victories over each other in Phase One as Saints secured a 4-2 win in September before Wrexham triumphed 2-0 in November’s reverse fixture. Wrexham have won eight out of the last 11 meetings between the two sides, but Saints have won on the last three occasions at Park Hall.
Genero Adran North – Connah’s Quay Nomads vs Flint Town United (Sunday, 2pm)
Connah’s Quay Nomads will retain the Genero Adran North title if they beat local rivals Flint Town United at Deeside Stadium on Sunday.
The Nomads had the chance to secure back-to-back titles last weekend, but were held to a goalless draw by Llandudno for the second time in three weeks. However, Jordan Parry’s side are still eight points clear at the top of the table and are clear title favourites, so will hope to lift the trophy in front of a home crowd on Sunday.
Third-place Flint will be hoping to spoil any potential party for their Flintshire derby opponents as Rebecca Eagles’ side search for their fourth consecutive win. The Silkwomen triumphed 2-0 at home to Berriew at the beginning of March – a result which has already seen them surpass their entire points tally from last season.
Ella Jones’ brace and Megan Galeandro’s late strike gave the Nomads a 3-1 victory over Flint in December’s reverse league fixture.
Genero Adran North – Llandudno vs Bangor (Sunday, 2pm)
A key battle also awaits at the lower end of the Genero Adran North as sixth-place Llandudno host bottom-of-the-table Bangor at the Go Goodwins Stadium.
It has been a difficult campaign for former two-time champions Llandudno, who have claimed just one league win from 10 games so far. However, remarkably, the Seasiders have held title favourites Connah’s Quay Nomads to two goalless draws over the last month. Llandudno are currently two points above Bangor.
Bangor likewise have just one win to their name this season – a 5-1 victory over Berriew on the opening day of the campaign. Aron Griffith’s side have lost their last four league matches and were beaten 2-0 by second-place Llanfair United on home soil last weekend.
Bangor youngster Menna Evans cancelled out Kelsey Davies’ opener as both sides shared the points in January’s 1-1 draw.
Genero Adran South – Taffs Well vs Llanelli Town (Sunday, 2pm)
Taffs Well and Llanelli Town face off with both teams only separated by goal difference at the bottom of the Genero Adran South ahead of their meeting at Rhiw Dda’r on Sunday.
Taffs Well are bottom of the table having scored twice less and conceded twice more. Chris Hooper’s side were beaten 2-0 away to Penybont last weekend and are seeking a major turnaround after nine consecutive league losses without a single goal to their name during that time.
Llanelli are also on a heavy losing streak with eight straight defeats since the end of November – the most recent of which saw the Reds lose 4-1 at home against Carmarthen Town last weekend.
Victory for either side would see them go three points clear of the relegation zone heading into the final day, where Llanelli host Cwmbran Celtic and Taffs Well travel to face Carmarthen.
Nothing could separate the two sides in November’s reverse fixture as Taffs Well top scorer Rianne Jones scored a brace and was sent off in a 3-3 draw at Stebonheath.
