Kilburn-Thompson has starred with 12 of those goals, all of which have come in her last eight appearances. Anna Houghton has chipped in with five, while Chapman has netted on four occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing they achieve a Tier 1 licence, Cardiff Met will compete against the Genero Adran North champions in the Adran Leagues Promotion Play-Off, for the right to play in the Genero Adran Premier next season, on Sunday 26 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-faw-card card-with-image-bg\"><div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group is-style-faw-card\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-button__link-card\" href=\"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/adran-south\/fixtures-and-results\/\">Fixtures and results<\/a><div class=\"faw-cards__card__text p-4\"><h2 class=\"is-style-faw-h3 mb-4 faw-text--border\">Genero Adran South<\/h2><div class=\"btn-w-auto wp-block-button \"><div class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Fixtures and results<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-faw-card-background_bg\" style=\"background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/2025-04-06-Pontypridd-United-v-Llanelli-Town-51-2.jpg);background-position:51% 15%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardiff Met secured the Genero Adran South title with 3-0 win away at Cwmbran Celtic on Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":13352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"ftr_img_focal":{"x":0.41,"y":0.21},"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"class_list":["post-13312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adran-south"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/263"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13312"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13312\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13354,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13312\/revisions\/13354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faw.cymru\/adran-leagues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
