Met make Europe
Cardiff Met won the title for a fifth time after a fifteenth victory in seventeen league games.
Naomi Clipson gave them the best possible start with a fourth-minute goal but Rebecca Elliott repeatedly denied the Archers.

Beynon hat-trick helps Swans home
Second-placed Swansea City ran out 5-1 winners at Rhyl, after getting an equally early goal as Jodie Passmore latched onto a lofted though ball from Alicia Powe to curl home.
It was 2-0 after only 6 minutes as Katy Hosford netted the rebound from an Emma Beynon effort.
Beynon scored herself from a Passmore delivery but the hosts pulled one back from a Tonicha Dickens’ free-kick before the break, goalkeeper Kate Brisland only able to help it into the net.
Ellie Lake followed up her own free-kick to make it 4-1 and Beynon completed her hat-trick off a Hosford corner.
Cyncoed recover from own-goal
Cyncoed edged Abergavenny 2-1 in the meeting of the clubs in third and fourth place respectively.
Abergavenny were given an own-goal head start but the Mighty Oaks soon replied and followed that up with a second-half winner.
Late fightback brings Port Talbot three points
Port Talbot Town completed their fixtures by winning 2-1 at Cardiff City FC to go level on points with their fifth-placed hosts.
They were behind by half-time as City’s Shannon Evans latched onto a through ball before chipping keeper Bethan Ellis.
Laura-May Walkley’s back post finish from a Lauren Amor corner brought them level on 75 minutes and there was then injury time drama as Walkley bundled in a header.
Caernarfon win basement battle
Caernarfon Town got off the mark with the only goal of the game against Caldicot Town.
Catrin Thomas struck in the second half to end a run of fourteen league defeats since promotion.
The result moved them off the bottom of the table at Caldicot’s expense.
