City Women continue their Adran Premier campaign with a home clash against Briton Ferry Llansawel on Sunday afternoon.
The fixture will take place on September 20th, with a kick-off time of 2pm.
PRE-MATCH | NOAH BUSHBY
“We’re looking forward to the challenge of facing Briton Ferry Llansawel, as we always do. They’re a well-run outfit and are difficult to face up against, but that is a prospect that brings excitement for both the coaching staff and the squad.
"This is a new team that has been full of changes this summer and we’ve seen signs of progress being made in our opening two games. Of course, we are disappointed that it hasn’t resulted in points but we firmly believe in the work that we’re doing and all the players have bought into the process really well.
"It's important to have another excellent week in training and I’m so pleased with how hard the girls are working to get to the levels that we’re aiming for. The target this Sunday is to produce a positive performance and to continue to make strides as a squad.”
OPPOSITION FOCUS
Sunday’s opponents began their campaign with an impressive 4-1 victory at Barry Town United’s Jenner Park before following up with a 1-1 draw at home against newly-promoted Cardiff Met.
Their standout player this campaign has been Jade Crofts, who netted a brace on the opening day before following up with the side’s goal against Met. Her tally of three goals in the opening two matches ranks joint-second in the division with The New Saints’ Lexi Jones, while the Saints’ Abbie Iddenden leads the Golden Boot race with four goals, following her hat-trick against Barry Town United this past weekend.
Looking back at our fixtures against Briton Ferry Llansawel last season, our home clash in Phase One ended in a resounding 5-1 victory with a notable goal from defender Hollie Smith, who had recently returned from a long-term injury.
The away fixture also brought similar success for the Bluebirds, who recorded a 4-1 win thanks to a professional performance. Mackenzie Olden got on the scoresheet for City that day, and she opened her account for the season in our most recent fixture against Wrexham AFC.
