Swansea City stepped up their title challenge and returned to the
       top of the Orchard Welsh Premier Women’s League by running out
       5-0 winners over Cascade Youth Club.
               The Swans led at the break through an early goal from
       Stacey John-Davis and Kelly Adams made it two just ahead of the
       hour mark. Katy Hosford made it three before John-Davis rounded
       off the scoring with two late strikes, to complete her hat-trick and
       take her side three points ahead of Cardiff Met Women, who did
       not have a game.
               Cardiff City Women are in the driving seat to take a top three place following
       their 3-0 victory against Port Talbot Town. All of the Bluebirds’ goals came in the first
       half, Phoebie Poole continuing her recent good form by scoring in the opening minute and
       then adding a second, before Danielle Green added the other goal two minutes before half
       time.
               Abergavenny Women returned to winning ways with a 2-0 success away to
       Aberystwyth Town. Ffion David gave Abergavenny the lead after 25 minutes and Caitlin
       Davies wrapped up the win with the second goal after the break.
               Briton Ferry Llansawel made it two wins and two clean sheets on the trot
       when they won 1-0 against Cyncoed Ladies. The only goal of the game came with seven
       minutes on the clock, Lucy Powell scoring to move Briton Ferry to within one point of the
       sixth placed Mighty Oaks.
               Cardiff Met Women were due to play on Thursday night and seeking to make a
       quick return to the top at home to Port Talbot Town, whilst Cyncoed Ladies were hosting
       Cardiff City Women on the same night.
               The league confirmed last week that the Premier League Cup would be able to
       return  to  action  after  having  come  to  a  halt  and  got  underway  again  last
       Thursday, although Abergavenny Women
