Sunday, 5 October

Barry Town United 1-4 Briton Ferry: Jade Crofts' early brace set Briton Ferry on the way to victory at south Wales rivals Barry Town United. The visitors completed their scoring through Lucy Powell and Maia Owen before India Shanahan hit back as the half-time whistle beckoned. Briton Ferry ended the day level on points with The New Saints, but a spot below them at fourth in the table while Barry Town stayed seventh.

Cardiff City 6-1 Aberystwyth Town: Cardiff City hammered Aberystwyth in the Welsh capital to hold on to top spot. Goals from Kerry Walklett, Mackenzie Olden came before Lily Moralee-Hughes gave the visitors brief hope. Laura Curnock put the hosts 3-1 up at the break and completed her brace from the penalty spot soon after it. Olden added her second on 90 minutes and Scarlett Baker-Perry completed the rout that left Aberystwyth third from bottom.

Swansea City 1-3 Wrexham: Swansea City dropped two places to fifth as Wrexham maintained the pressure on leaders Cardiff City with the only away win of the round. Ava Suckley and Katie Barker gave the visitors the early initiative, but Swansea, seeking to put their south Wales derby loss against Cardiff City in the previous weekend behind them, replied through Stacy John to leave them trailing 2-1 at the break. Wrexham's win was sealed by Lili Mae Jones midway through the second period.

The New Saints 6-1 Pontypridd United: Caitlin Chapman struck twice within two minutes as The New Saints put paid to any hopes bottom side Pontypridd United had of a first win of the league campaign. Chantelle Teare's double came with goals before and after the break with Kayleigh Baker having added her name to the scoresheet in the meantime, and Madison Lloyd claiming Pontypridd's consolation. Grace Thomas also hit the target for TNS after the break and the hosts finished the day third in the table.
