WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE
Aberystwyth Town 1-5 Cardiff City FC
PILCS 3-6 Cwmbran Celtic
Sunday May 8th
Cardiff City FC 7-1 MBi Llandudno
PILCS 2-1 Swansea City
Cardiff City FC Women could not afford to be charitable in Wednesday’s game, as they need the points from their penultimate fixture in the battle to hold third spot. Aber certainly helped their cause with Gabi Hughes’ opening goal from long range but City quickly turned the match in their favour, with Shannon Evans striking twice and then setting up Hattie Powell, before Kylie Nolan made it 4-1 by half time. Chelsea Cochrane’s lofted effort was the only addition to the score after the interval, so the hosts had done enough and Rhyl & Prestatyn were relegated instead.
Cwmbran Celtic stayed in the chase with a 6-3 victory away at PILCS the same night, after being narrowly in front from a five-goal first half.
Cardiff were back in action on Sunday and although only one up against MBi Llandudno at half-time, they knocked in six second-half goals in a 7-1 success. Nolan hit a hat-trick, Evans and Danielle Green bagged a brace each.
PILCS pulled off a 2-1 defeat of runners-up Swansea City to remain in fourth position.
Cwmbran complete a hectic run in with three home games in five days, beginning against PILCS on Wednesday, followed by Swansea on Friday and finally Llandudno on Sunday.
