Pontypridd Town had in any case not managed to pick up the necessary three points to potentially overtake Aber, as they went down 3-0 at Barry, whose goals came from Taite Trivett, Caitlin Marron and Grace O’Reilly.
Swansea City were ahead inside the first minute through Stacey John-Davis and although Lucie Platt replied for The New Saints, Katy Hosford and Laura Davies secured a win for the Swans by half-time.
Cardiff Met won the capital clash at Cardiff City FC 4-1, Laura May Walkley’s brace bringing a response from a Phoebie Poole penalty, before Sophie Hancocks restored the two-goal cushion and Steph Turner added a fourth deep into stoppage-time. The pair meet again in midweek with the Archers this time at home.
Despite two midweek games to come, Aberystwyth, Cardiff City FC, Cardiff Met and Swansea City will make up the Championship Division when the league returns on 13 February, while Barry, Pontypridd Town, Port Talbot and TNS play for the Plate.
