There is plenty to play for across the Genero Adran Leagues this weekend, with the first title of the season potentially set to be won.
Here are the key games to keep an eye on.
Genero Adran Premier – Cardiff City v Wrexham (Sunday, 2pm)
The Genero Adran Premier’s two most in-form sides meet in the capital on Sunday, as Cardiff City host Wrexham.
The Bluebirds began Phase Two with a 2-0 win away at Briton Ferry Llansawel last weekend – their sixth consecutive victory in all competitions – to move eight points clear at the top of the table as they aim for a third consecutive league title. It is over a year since Iain Darbyshire’s side lost on home turf.
After squeezing into the top half with three consecutive wins to end Phase One, Wrexham started Phase Two with a 3-1 home win over The New Saints – moving just two points behind the third-place Saints in the process.
Cardiff won 2-0 at The Rock when these two sides met on the opening day of the season, before earning a 4-1 home victory in December. The league’s top scorer Ffion Price scored in both encounters.
Genero Adran North – Connah’s Quay Nomads v NFA (Sunday, 2pm)
Connah’s Quay Nomads will claim the Genero Adran North title for the first time if they beat NFA at home on Sunday afternoon.
The Nomads made it 11 wins in 11 leagues this season with a 5-0 victory over Bangor on Tuesday night, as captain Polly Wild-McGregor scored a hat-trick to take her goal tally for the season to 20 in the Genero Adran North. Jordan Parry’s side now hold an eight-point lead over second-place Llanfair United.
NFA travel to Flintshire hoping to spoil the party but will be well aware of the mammoth task ahead of them. Niall McGuinness’ side have just one point from 10 games to their name season, losing their last six games in succession. They took the lead against Flint Town United last weekend but ultimately suffered a 3-1 defeat.
The Nomads have already beaten NFA twice this season, securing a 3-0 win in the Genero Adran Trophy group stage before a 6-0 league victory in January.
Genero Adran South – Swansea University v Pontypridd United (Sunday, 2pm)
The Genero Adran South title race has been a much tighter affair this season and the current top two Swansea University and Pontypridd United meet on Sunday.
The two sides are currently level on 21 points from nine games – five ahead of third-place Cwmbran Celtic – with Ponty top of the standings on goal difference. The Dragons have won their last three league games in a row and also have a Bute Energy Welsh Cup semi-final against Wrexham to look forward to next weekend.
Swansea Uni are enjoying a superb run of form, winning their last six matches and keeping five clean sheets in that streak. Hannah Pinney’s early goal earned a 1-0 victory away at Cwmbran Celtic last weekend.
The Swans were victorious in January’s reverse fixture at USW Sports Park, as a late own goal from Ponty goalkeeper Eleanor Brook secured a 1-0 away win.
