A full Genero Adran Leagues schedule returns on Sunday following last weekend’s Genero Adran Trophy action. Here are the key games to keep an eye on.
Genero Adran Premier – Swansea City v Cardiff City (Sunday, 5:10pm)
Old foes Swansea City and Cardiff City are both in impressive form ahead of their meeting at the Swansea.com Stadium on Sunday evening, live on Sgorio.
The Bluebirds currently sit top of the Genero Adran Premier, ahead of second-place Wrexham on goal difference, having picked up 19 points from 21 available since losing at TNS on the opening day of the season. Iain Darbyshire’s side won 7-0 over Flint Town United in the Genero Adran Trophy last weekend, continuing a hot streak which has seen them score 18 goals in their last four league games.
Swansea City v Cardiff City
Sunday 16 November, 17:10
Third-place Swansea are one point behind the top two, winning their last four consecutive league games – scoring 20 goals – since a 3-1 defeat to Wrexham in their last outing at the Swansea.com Stadium at the start of October. Yzzy Taylor’s team were comfortable 4-0 winners over Cardiff Met in the Genero Adran Trophy last weekend.
First half goals from Mackenzie Olden, Laura Curnock and Mikayla Cook earned a 3-0 win over Cardiff over Swansea at the Cardiff City Stadium back in September. However, the Bluebirds have only won once in their last 11 visits to the Swans.
Genero Adran Premier – The New Saints v Briton Ferry Llansawel (Sunday, 2pm)
The New Saints and Briton Ferry sit level on points in the Genero Adran Premier ahead of their meeting at Park Hall.
TNS sit in fourth place, above Ferry on goal difference, having alternated between victory and defeat ever since beating reigning champions Cardiff City on the opening day of the season. The Saints were 5-4 winners away at Llanfair United in the Genero Adran Trophy last weekend, but are now managerless after announcing Jodie Williams’ shock departure on Friday.
Ferry needed a stoppage time winner from Lauren Payne to triumph 3-2 over Cwmbran Celtic in the Genero Adran Trophy last weekend, while the Reds’ also left it late to secure a 2-1 win over Pontypridd United in their last league outing – bouncing back from back-to-back defeats against Aberystwyth Town and Swansea City.
Ferry triumphed 3-1 at Old Road in this season’s reverse fixture at the end of September, having beaten TNS just once in six meetings last season.
Genero Adran North – Connah’s Quay Nomads v Felinheli (Sunday, 2pm)
Connah’s Quay Nomads will aim to continue their perfect start to the Genero Adran North season when they host Felinheli at Deeside Stadium.
The Nomads are the only team in the division to have won their first two matches, with Jordan Parry’s side earning 5-2 and 9-0 victories over Llanfair United and Bangor respectively. Sunday’s match will be a special occasion for Parry as he takes charge of the Nomads for the 100th time.
Following an opening day defeat to Llanfair United, Felinheli got off the mark in the Genero Adran North with a 2-1 victory away at Llandudno last month. However, they will be hoping to bounce back from a 7-0 loss to top-flight Aberystwyth Town in the Genero Adran Trophy last weekend.
The two sides have already met at Deeside this season as Llywela Edwards’ hat-trick saw Felinheli stage a stunning comeback to triumph 3-2 in the Genero Adran Trophy group stage, which sealed her side’s progress to the knockout stage and dumped out the Nomads.
Genero Adran South – Penybont v Carmarthen Town (Sunday, 2pm)
Newly-promoted Carmarthen Town will aim to continue their bright start to the Genero Adran South campaign when they travel to face Penybont at the DragonBet Stadium.
Carmarthen currently sit third in the table and have earned six points from their first three league games. 2-1 home wins over Cwmbran Celtic and Cascade respectively have come either side of a stoppage time defeat by the same scoreline away at Pure Swansea.
Penybont are fifth in the table on four points, having conceded late in a 1-1 draw with Cwmbran Celtic in their last outing. Captain Maddie Priday has been in fine form with six goal contributions in her last four games, but Bont will be without Carys Minton following her red card against Celtic two weeks ago.
The only previous meeting between the two sides came in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup first round in 2022/23, when Carmarthen earned a narrow 1-0 home victory.
