Cardiff City FC built a 4-0 lead at Briton Ferry Llansawel, where they ended up 5-2 winners for their first points of the season. Zoe Atkins, Lisa Owen and Hannah Daley all struck in a 14-minute spell leading up to the interval, Phoebe Poole further extending the advantage after the restart. Lowri Baker immediately replied and Sophie Topper got another back for the hosts, before Catherine Walsh netted the Bluebirds’ fifth in the final minute.
