Following a 4-0 win over Cardiff Met on Thursday night, Aberystwyth Town will aim to continue their bid for a spot in the Genero Adran Premier top four when they travel to Swansea City on Sunday.
Victory over the Archers, Aber’s first game since Gavin Allen was dismissed as manager, moved them just a point behind fourth-place The New Saints. Sunday’s trip to Llandarcy is the Seasiders’ last chance to make up ground on TNS before the two sides meet on the final matchday of phase one.
Second-place Swansea are involved in a chase themselves as they trail league leaders Cardiff City by six points. Chris Church’s side are in imperious form, having won their last seven matches in all competitions – including an emphatic 5-0 victory over TNS last weekend.
Katy Hosford stole the show for the Swans against Aberystwyth back in October as her two goals and two assists helped her side to a 4-0 victory at Park Avenue.
A resurgent Barry Town United side will face a stern test when league leaders Cardiff City make the trip to Jenner Park on Sunday.
Back-to-back wins over The New Saints and Cardiff Met have lifted the Linnets up to sixth in the table and 11 points clear of the relegation zone, but the visit of the Bluebirds is an altogether different challenge.
Iain Darbyshire’s free scoring side continue to be unbeaten in all competitions this season and have won their last 15 matches in succession.
Danielle Green grabbed four assists and was among six different goalscorers as Cardiff defeated Barry 6-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium earlier in the season.
Ex-Bluebirds Danielle Broadhurst and Catherine Walsh have both been crucial to Barry’s recent good form and they will be hoping to make an impact against their former club.
Having confirmed their place in the Genero Adran Premier top four last weekend, Wrexham will target a third successive win when they host Pontypridd United.
The Red Dragons have impressed in their first back in the top flight, winning eight of their 12 matches. They have only lost once on home turf, against leaders Cardiff City.
Pontypridd pushed the Bluebirds hard in a 2-1 defeat last weekend, but they need to start picking up results as they currently find themselves 10 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table.
Goals from Amber Lightfoot, Lili Jones and Rosie Hughes secured a 3-0 win for Wrexham in the reverse fixture between these two sides in September.
