Wrexham 7-1 Aberystwyth Town: Wrexham extended their unbeaten league run to three matches with an emphatic win against Aberystwyth. Carra Jones gave the hosts the lead in the 26th minute with her second league goal of the campaign. Ava Suckley doubled Wrexham's advantage on the stroke of half-time with her eighth goal of the season in all competitions. Carys Bufton responded for the visitors shortly after the break, but Olivia Fuller struck before Rosie Hughes netted from the penalty spot to put Wrexham in control. Suckley struck twice in quick succession to complete her hat-trick before captain Fuller bagged her second in added time to cap off an impressive win for the home side. Wrexham stay sixth but move to within four points of the top four. Aberystwyth stay seventh and are now 11 points behind Wrexham.
Cardiff City 1-0 Swansea City: Cardiff secured derby bragging rights as they held on for a narrow victory over Swansea. Following a goalless opening half at Cardiff International Sports Stadium, Lily Billingham struck her second league goal of the season on 55 minutes to earn the Bluebirds victory. Iain Darbyshire's side have a six-point gap at the summit of the Adran Premier table, although they have played a game more than Briton Ferry. Swansea sit fourth on 20 points.
Briton Ferry Llansawel 2-2 The New Saints: Briton Ferry scored a dramatic injury-time equaliser against TNS to maintain their grip on second place in the league table. Rhys James' side went ahead through Lucy Powell's penalty in first-half added time - her sixth goal in as many games across all competitions. But Lexi Jones got the Saints on level terms with her sixth league goal of the season in the 70th minute. Jones looked to have netted the winner 11 minutes later, although Megan Kearle bagged an equaliser six minutes into added time to ensure the points were shared. Briton Ferry stay second, a point clear of TNS who are third.
