The final of the Orchard Welsh Premier Women’s League Cup will see reigning champions Cardiff Met aiming to lift the trophy for a fourth time when they take on Swansea City in the 2019-20 final at Newport’s Dragon Park on 29 March.

In yesterday’s semi-final derby, Met gained revenge with a 5-3 shoot-out win against Cardiff City, who had knocked the students out of the FAW Cup four days earlier.

A 19th-minute goal by Erin Murray had put the students on course for the final until Kate Jeremiah struck Cardiff City in the 85th minute, taking the game into extra-time.

Lucy Finch re-established Met’s advantage after 110 minutes but the Bluebirds’ Catherine Walsh fired back six minutes later to force penalties, Met winning 5-3.

In the other semi-final Swansea City beat Port Talbot 3-0, with Shaunna Jenkins scoring after 34 minutes. Two quick-fire second-half goals from Sarah Adams (54) and Katy Hosford (57) sealed the victory for the Swans.

This season saw a new format for the League Cup, with the first and second rounds replaced by a group stage to decide the semi-finalists.
