Cardiff City will return to the Cardiff City Stadium for the first time this season when they host Barry Town United on Sunday (KO 17:10), with live coverage on Sgorio\u2019s online platforms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iain Darbyshire\u2019s side currently sit three points clear at the top of the Genero Adran Premier and are now the only remaining unbeaten side in the division this season. A 5-1 win over Pontypridd United last weekend was their third successive league victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry head to CF11 after picking up their first points of the season in a 4-2 home win over Cardiff Met last Sunday, moving off the bottom of the table up to seventh place in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India Shanahan, who starred for Cardiff City\u2019s U19s last season, scored her first goal in Barry colours in that victory and will now hope to feature against her former club. Mackenzie Olden could also face familiar faces after swapping Jenner Park for the Bluebirds in the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff won both meetings between the two sides last season, but left it late in their most recent encounter as Megan Saunders\u2019 89th<\/sup>-minute goal earned a 1-0 victory in December 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aberystwyth Town suffered their first defeat of the campaign against Wrexham last weekend and they will hope to bounce back when they host Swansea City on Sunday (KO 14:00). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seasiders have impressed so far this season and currently sit fourth in the table, but will be without midfielder Imi Scourfield this weekend as she has been called up to the Cymru WU19 squad for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swansea City scored a stoppage-time winner to beat The New Saints 2-1 at Park Hall last weekend, overtaking Aberystwyth into third place in the process. It was a third consecutive win for the Swans under interim head coach Chris Church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both games between the two clubs last season finished 2-2. Emily Thomas scored for Aberystwyth in the draw at Park Avenue, but completed a move to Swansea earlier this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second-place Wrexham will hope to continue their strong start to the season following promotion as they host The New Saints (KO 14:00).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals from Rebecca Pritchard and Rosie Hughes earned Steve Dale\u2019s side a 2-1 comeback win away at Aberystwyth Town last week, their third victory in five league matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pritchard and Hughes were also on the scoresheet when Wrexham last met TNS in the third round of last season\u2019s Bute Energy Welsh Cup and triumphed 2-1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greg Draper\u2019s side are currently fifth in the Genero Adran Premier table with seven points to their name, but could climb into the top half if results go their way on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pontypridd United begin life after James Fishlock by making the short trip to Cardiff Met on Sunday afternoon (KO 14:00) with Jonathan Spyropoulos in interim charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fishlock stepped down as head coach of the Dragons following their 5-1 defeat to Cardiff City last weekend \u2013 a fifth consecutive league defeat that left them bottom of the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met are currently in fifth place, having won one, drawn two and lost two of their first five league matches under new boss Daniel Delahey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin Murray scored the only goal of the game as the Archers won 1-0 in the last meeting between the two sides in December 2022, while Met also triumphed 4-3 in a thrilling encounter earlier in the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
