Preview | Briton Ferry Llansawel Women v Swansea City Women
Swansea City Women travel to the The Renewable Centre Stadium this evening to face Briton Ferry Llansawel Women in their final fixture of phase one of the Genero Adran Premier (5.10pm).
The Swans will be looking to end the first part of the league campaign on a high following last week’s emphatic 7-1 victory over Barry Town United Women at the Swansea.com Stadium, where they produced a dominant display in their final home game before the split.
Swansea confirmed their place in the top four two weeks ago and will be keen to remain in touching distance of the top two, sitting four points behind second-placed Wrexham Women and five points adrift of leaders Cardiff City Women.
Briton Ferry Llansawel will be aiming to secure their first victory under new head coach Rhys James, who returned to the club earlier this week following the departure of Rhys Thomas.
Ferry head into the contest without a win in their last four matches in all competitions, with their most recent league victory coming in a 2-0 win over Barry Town United back in December.
Pre-match views
Head coach Yzzy Taylor: "Last weekend was great for us. Training this week has been really positive. We are very fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to enjoy moments like last weekend.
"We continue to look at games on a game by game basis. We know that Ferry this weekend are going to be strong.
"With Rhys [James] going back in this week - I am sure he will have tried to get a solid tactical plan together for this game against us. So we will have to be ready for that and as always be ready to solve any problems that get thrown our way. We are looking forward to the game and excited to get out there again!"
Last time out
Swansea City Women claimed their third consecutive victory with a thumping win over Briton Ferry Llansawel Women at Llandarcy Academy of Sport back in October.
Four goals from Aimee Deacon and a brace from Chloe Chivers secured a 6-1 victory for the Swans, extending their scoring run to 16 goals across two matches following a 10-1 victory over Pontypridd United Women the previous week.
Swansea went into the break four goals to the good, with both Chivers and Deacon grabbing braces. Briton Ferry were reduced to 10 players shortly before half-time when Brooke Llewellyn was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Deacon.
The hosts pulled a goal back just two minutes after the restart, but Deacon struck twice more within nine minutes to round off a convincing victory for the Swans.
