Phase Two kicks off in the Genero Adran Premier this weekend, while it continues to hot up in the second tier as well. Here are the key games to keep an eye on.Â
Genero Adran Premier – The New Saints v Cardiff City (Sunday, 2pm)
Top-flight leaders Cardiff City begin their Championship Conference campaign with a trip to Park Hall to face The New Saints on Sunday afternoon.
The Bluebirds maintained their one-point lead over second-place Wrexham with a 4-0 victory away at Aberystwyth Town in their Phase One finale. Iain Darbyshire’s side visit Oswestry just one week after they welcomed TNS to the capital in the Bute Energy Welsh quarter-finals, when a 3-0 victory made it eight straight wins in all competitions.
TNS got off the mark under new manager Kieran Lee-Birch with back-to-back wins over Aberystwyth Town (2-0) and Pontypridd United (8-0) to confirm their place in the Championship Conference. The Saints are now aiming to make it three consecutive league wins for the first time this season.
TNS took four points off Cardiff in Phase One with a 1-0 win at Park Hall on the opening day before a 3-3 draw in the capital in November. However, the Bluebirds have since knocked the Saints out of both the Genero Adran Trophy and Bute Energy Welsh Cup.
Genero Adran Premier – Swansea City v Wrexham (Sunday, 2pm)
If Cardiff do drop points at Park Hall again, Swansea City and Wrexham will both hope to capitalise in their meeting at Llandarcy. The Red Dragons begin Phase Two just a point behind the league leaders, while the Swans are only four points further back so will aim to cut the gap on Sunday.
Swansea finished Phase One with four consecutive wins, while last weekend they booked their spot in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup semi-finals with a comfortable 6-0 home win over Llandudno.
Wrexham were also big winners in the cup last weekend, triumphing 5-0 away at Carmarthen Town. Jenny Sugarman’s side concluded Phase One with a 6-1 victory away against Barry Town United, as the division’s top scorer Katie Barker bagged a hat-trick.
After failing to win any of the first seven meetings between the two sides, Wrexham have now triumphed in each of their last four encounters. In Phase One, the Red Dragons recorded a 3-1 victory at the Swansea.com Stadium before winning 4-2 in the reverse fixture at The Rock.
Genero Adran North – Berriew v Llandudno (Sunday, 2pm)
Key points are up for grabs at the lower end of the Genero Adran North as bottom-of-the-table Berriew host fifth-place Llandudno at the Recreation Ground.
Berriew are currently two points adrift of safety, but do have a game in hand on the three teams above them, which includes Llandudno. Regina Hanratty’s side are still searching for their first points in 2026 after three consecutive defeats to Connah’s Quay Nomads (10-0), Llanfair United (3-2) and Felinheli (4-0).
Llandudno also have just one league win to their name so far, but Sunday provides a great opportunity to pull away from the relegation zone. The Seasiders are hoping to bounce back from a 6-0 loss to top-flight Swansea City in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup quarter-finals last weekend.
Berriew’s only Genero Adran North win this season in fact came against Llandudno in November’s reverse fixture, as Gemma Jones’ opener and Dottie Evans’ brace secured a 3-0 away win.
Genero Adran South – Cardiff Met v Carmarthen Town (Sunday, 2pm)
There could be crucial implications in the Genero Adran South title race as leaders Cardiff Met host third-place Carmarthen Town at Cyncoed Stadium.
Met are currently three points clear of Pure Swansea and Carmarthen at the top of the table with a game in hand. Jonathan Nash’s side extended their winning streak in the league to four matches with a 5-0 victory away at Llanelli Town last time out. Esme Kilburn-Thompson bagged a brace in that match, meaning she has six goal contributions from those four wins.
Carmarthen will go level on points with Met if they are victorious on Sunday, although the Archers do have a much better goal difference. The Old Gold produced a remarkable turnaround as they came from three goals down to triumph 4-3 over Pure Swansea in their last league outing, before a 5-0 defeat to top-flight Wrexham in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup last weekend.
Cardiff Met have beaten Carmarthen twice already this season, with a pair of 2-0 wins in September’s Genero Adran Trophy group stage meeting and November’s reverse league fixture.
