Elin Jones and Rebecca Jarvis-Evans both bagged braces as Llandudno progressed to the Genero Adran Trophy knockout stage with a 4-0 win over Bangor in Group 1.
The Seasiders wasted no time in Jay Davies’ first match in charge as in-form Jones opened the scoring in the 17th minute before Jarvis-Evans doubled the lead soon after.
Jarvis-Evans completed her brace in the 52nd minute and Jones also doubled up for the afternoon three minutes later as she finished off a well-worked team move to give the reigning Genero Adran North champions a place in the last 16.
Connah’s Quay Nomads made it three wins from three matches in Group 1 with a 3-0 home win against NFA.
Alisha Wright was in the right place at the right time to put the Nomads in front in first half stoppage time, heading home after Keira Hardstaff’s effort hit the crossbar.
Substitutes Hannah Slack and Alisha Whitehead-Hughes both produced clinical finishes in the final 10 minutes to wrap up victory for the hosts, ensuring they have won every Genero Adran Trophy group stage match for the past four years.
Flint Town United qualified for the knockout stage on their competition debut as they picked up a 9-3 victory over Felinheli at the Essity Stadium to make it three wins from three games in Group 2.
Flint were beaten 6-1 by Llandudno in the Genero Adran North in their last outing, but the Silkwomen responded perfectly as two goals each from Jennifer Haynes and Zoe Stopford gave them a 4-0 lead inside just 22 minutes.
16-year-old Elsi Williams pulled a goal back for Felinheli on the half hour mark, but a quickfire brace from Kaelyn Williams and Stopford’s hat-trick-clinching strike early in the second period ultimately put the game to bed.
Another 16-year-old in Rubie Davies scored a second goal for Felin, before Haynes completed a hat-trick of her own just after the hour mark.
Felinheli captain Fflur Williams got her name on the scoresheet with 15 minutes remaining, but it was only a consolation as Rosie Hughes rounded off the goalscoring for Flint with her first goal of the campaign in the 87thminute.
Llanfair United reached the knockout stage for the first time as they defeated Rhyl 4-0 at Mount Field to finish second in Group 2.
Knowing victory would be enough to send them through, Llanfair got off to the perfect start as Harriet Davies opened the scoring after just four minutes.
Davies turned provider for Sophie Cook to double the lead seven minutes before half-time, before Lucie Gwilt added a third early in the second half. An own goal from Rosie O’Brien soon after sealed victory for Llanfair, who picked up their first clean sheet since February.
Caldicot Town topped Group 3 following their 2-1 comeback victory over Llanelli Town at Jubilee Way, booking a place in the knockout stage for the first time in three years.
Stacey Webber’s fourth goal of the season put Llanelli in front midway through the first half, but Rianne Jones, who scored a hat-trick against Cascade in the first group game, equalised for Caldicot three minutes into the second half.
The winning goal came in the 55th minute as Caldicot captain Millie Pearce curled a stunning free-kick beyond Celyn Barnett to give her side the victory they needed to progress.
Swansea University were top of Group 3 prior to kick-off on Sunday, but Dan Sheehan’s side missed out on a place in the last 16 after they suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Cascade.
The decisive moment arrived with 19 minutes on the clock courtesy of Anny Lewis, whose first goal of the season was enough to secure three points for Cascade and send them through.
Penybont reached the knockout stage on their debut in the competition as they secured a 3-2 victory away to Pontypridd United to achieve maximum points in Group 4.
It was a frantic first 10 minutes at USW Sports Park as Dragons forward Caitlin Seaborne cancelled out Casey Daniels’ opener for Bont.
However, Bont restored the lead through Mollie Jones on the half hour mark before captain Maddie Priday opened up a two-goal cushion early in the second half.
In-form Ponty striker Sophie McMullen grabbed a goal back in the fifth minute of stoppage time but it came too late to save her side.
Defeat for Pontypridd meant they were eliminated from the competition after Cwmbran Celtic came from behind to beat wildcard entrant Cambrian United 4-1 at the M&P Group 3G.
The Cam Army may have only had slim hopes of progression themselves, but they took the lead in the ninth minute thanks to Leah Davies.
However, Celtic’s quality in attack showed and goals from Lauren Boyd and Eloise Meaney had turned the game around by the 22nd minute.
Jade Crofts bagged a quickfire brace to make it four and round off an entertaining first half, while a goalless second period meant Celtic were able to see out the match and confirm their place in the last 16 for the first time.
