The Genero Adran Trophy group stage continues on Sunday, with potential knockout stage spots on the line in the second round of matches.
Connah’s Quay Nomads and Llandudno both earned big wins in the opening round of matches and they meet in Group 1.
Polly Wild-McGregor’s hat-trick inspired the Nomads to a 6-0 win at Bangor, while Kelsey Davies and Rebecca Jarvis-Evans both bagged trebles in a 9-1 victory for Llandudno over NFA.
Another win for either side at The Poppies 3G could secure a place in the knockout stage with one game to spare.
The two sides earned a win each against each other last season, with the Nomads triumphing 2-0 in November only for the Seasiders to get revenge by the same scoreline in January.
The other game in Group 1 sees NFA host Bangor, with the two sides aiming to bounce back from their heavy defeats last weekend and avoid an early elimination.
NFA won both league meetings between the clubs last season, including a 1-0 home victory in February thanks to Mel Peake’s goal.
Newly-promoted Flint Town United announced themselves in the second tier with a 4-3 win over Llanfair United last weekend to go top of Group 2.
The Silkwomen travel to Rhyl 1879 this Sunday, knowing three more points could secure a place in knockout stage in their first appearance in the competition.
The Lilywhites were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Felinheli last weekend, so will hope to now get off the mark on home turf.
Last season’s quarter-finalists Felinheli will aim to make it back-to-back wins in the group stage when they visit Llanfair United.
Aaron Jones-Evans’ side are unbeaten in all six previous Genero Adran North meetings against Llanfair. Striker Fflur Williams has 10 goal contributions during that time, including a hat-trick in a 5-0 win back in March.
Caldicot Town have failed to get out of their group in the last two seasons, but victory away at Swansea University on Sunday could see them book their place in the knockout stage.
Kellan Webb’s side staged a second half comeback to win 5-1 against Cascade last weekend, while the Swans drew 1-1 away at Llanelli Town.
Swansea Uni won 2-0 in the last meeting between the sides in February, with captain Charley Haynes grabbing a goal and an assist.
The other game in Group 3 sees Cascade host Llanelli, as both sides search for their first win of the campaign.
Cascade were emphatic winners in both Genero Adran South matches against the Reds last season, securing 6-0 and 5-0 wins.
Pontypridd United and Cwmbran Celtic will both hope to be pushing towards the top end of the Genero Adran South this season, but they meet at USW Sport Park in the Genero Adran Trophy a week before the league campaign kicks off.
The Dragons currently sit top of Group 4 following their 4-0 win over wildcard entrant Cambrian United last Sunday, while Celtic suffered a 3-2 defeat to newly-promoted Penybont.
Bont will hope to build on their win last weekend when they host Cambrian at the SDM Glass Stadium, knowing another victory could earn a knockout stage spot on their competition debut.
The two sides met in the semi-final of the SWWGL Alun Evans League Cup last season, with Cambrian progressing to the final on penalties after 2-2 draw in 90 minutes.
