Preview | Aberystwyth Town Ladies v Swansea City Ladies
Swansea City Ladies travel to west Wales today to face Aberystwyth Town in what is the Swans’ final away league match of this season’s campaign (2pm).
With three matches left Swansea look in good stead to reclaim the Welsh Premier Women’s League title sitting in second place, level on points and with a game in hand on leaders Cardiff Met.
The defending champions come into today’s fixture on the back of two convincing wins against Cyncoed and Cascade, scoring eight goals and conceding none in the process.
Meanwhile, Aberystwyth are fighting to keep their spot in the top-flight with them currently sitting bottom of the WPWL, despite reaching the semi-final of the league cup in midweek.

Colin Staples: “Aberystwyth will be pleased with their midweek showing and we will go there expecting a difficult game and as ever we have prepared accordingly.
“We go into the final set of games focused on the task ahead.
“We are ready and able to handle any pressure, but this comes from outside the group not from us.
“Our faith in the squad is undiminished, again we are focused on playing to win.”
