Cardiff Met Women made it three wins out of three on Sunday and
they jointly lead the Orchard Welsh Premier Women’s League with
Abergavenny Women.
Chloe O’Connor gave Met a tenth minute lead away to Port
Talbot Town and Jodie Passmore made it two just before half time.
Courtenay Thomas pulled one back for Port Talbot early in the second
half but a double from Lauren Townsend wrapped up a 4-1 victory in
Met’s favour.
Meanwhile, Abergavenny played host to Cyncoed Ladies
and notched up a 4-0 win which gives them an identical record to that of Met’s. Lyndsey
Davies and Ceri Hudson put Aber two goals ahead inside the opening twenty minutes, with
Davies netting her second just before the interval. Mali Summers completed the scoring for
Abergavenny with the final goal on the hour.
Cardiff City Women won for the first time, 5-2 away to Briton Ferry
Llansawel. Zoe Atkins, Lisa Owen and Hannah Daley gave City a three-goal lead at half time,
which was added to by Phoebe Poole after the break. The home side staged a fightback with
Lowri Baker and Sophie Topper reducing the arrears but City secured the win late on with the
fifth goal from Catherine Walsh.
Newly promoted Cascade Youth Club recorded their first ever WPWL win when
they beat Aberystwyth Town 2-1. Kelly Thomas put Aberystwyth in front after nineteen
minutes but Holly Hughes levelled the scores two minutes before half time and Sophie Hamer
netted the winning goal, midway through the second half.
This Sunday, the League Cup takes centre stage with the first round of group
