Sunday is semi-final day in the Genero Adran Trophy as the remaining four clubs aim to take a step closer to the first piece of silverware of the season. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current holders The New Saints will aim to reach back-to-back finals when they host Cardiff City at Park Hall (KO 14:00). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saints defeated the Bluebirds in the quarter-finals on their way to lifting the trophy last year, while they also triumphed 1-0 at home over Iain Darbyshire\u2019s side on the opening day of this season in the Genero Adran Premier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kieran Lee-Burch is the new man in the TNS dugout, with his first game in charge ending in a 3-0 defeat to Swansea City in midweek. The Saints have reached the semi-finals courtesy of wins over Llanfair United (5-4) and Pontypridd United (5-1).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff, who won the Genero Adran Trophy in 2024, are the highest scorers in this season\u2019s competition following convincing wins over Flint Town United (7-0) and rivals Swansea City (6-0). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bluebirds head to Park Hall after Fiona Barry\u2019s stoppage-time strike sealed a dramatic 2-1 win over Genero Adran Premier title rivals Wrexham, before they triumphed 14-0 over Trefelin in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last meeting between the two sides at the end of November was a thrilling 3-3 draw in the capital, when Cardiff forward Laura Curnock scored a 104th<\/sup> minute equaliser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrexham and Briton Ferry Llansawel contest the other semi-final at The Rock (KO 14:00) after both teams were beaten at this stage of the competition last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genero Adran Premier leaders Wrexham were convincing 9-0 winners against Llandudno in the Round of 16, but required a penalty shootout victory to edge past Aberystwyth Town in the quarter-finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2-1 defeat away at Cardiff City in the league two weeks ago saw their 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end, although the Red Dragons are yet to lose at home this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briton Ferry, who suffered an agonising late collapse in their 3-2 loss to TNS in their semi-final last year, have triumphed over Cwmbran Celtic (3-2) and Barry Town United (2-0) to reach the last four again this term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reds are currently fifth in the Genero Adran Premier, with a game in hand over the sides above them, and made it four consecutive wins and clean sheets with a 5-0 triumph over Pure Swansea in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup in their most recent outing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferry were the last team to visit Wrexham and come away with victory, triumphing 3-1 at the Racecourse in March. However, the Red Dragons won the most recent meeting between the two sides as they earned a 5-2 away win on the opening day of this season\u2019s Genero Adran Premier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
