Ffion Price’s Hat-Trick Secures Dramatic Comeback Victory for Cardiff at Aberystwyth

Cardiff City concluded the 2023-24 season by securing the Adran Premier title, finishing nine points ahead at the top. On Sunday, October 27, several league matches took place. Wrexham 3-0 Cardiff Met: Wrexham achieved their second league victory of the current season, creating a five-point buffer from the bottom position. Abbie Iddenden opened the scoring for the home team in the 21st minute, followed by Rosie Hughes who increased Wrexham’s advantage eleven minutes into the second half. Olivia Fuller then netted her side’s third goal late in the match, confirming the win. This loss, Cardiff Met’s fifth in six league fixtures, places the Archers in seventh place. The New Saints 1-1 Barry Town United: Barry Town United recovered from a deficit to secure a point against TNS. Lexi Jones scored her third league goal of the season, giving the Saints an early lead after only five minutes. However, Ellie Preece found the net for the fifth consecutive game across all competitions just four minutes later, equalizing the score and resulting in a shared outcome. Both teams now hold 11 points after their initial six Adran Premier fixtures. Aberystwyth Town 2-4 Cardiff City: Ffion Price achieved a second-half hat-trick, enabling current champions Cardiff City to overcome a two-goal deficit and defeat Aberystwyth, who remain winless, at Park Avenue. Lleucu Mathias put Aberystwyth in front with a free-kick three minutes prior to half-time. Rebecca Mathias then extended the home team’s lead just as the first half concluded, presenting Iain Darbyshire’s squad with a significant challenge. Price reignited the Bluebirds’ hopes on the 60-minute mark with her fourth goal of the season, subsequently completing her brace with a powerful strike in the 79th minute. The 27-year-old then scored her third goal from a lofted free-kick in the 89th minute, before Fiona Barry added a fourth goal late in the game, propelling the Bluebirds to the top of the league standings. Aberystwyth remains at the bottom of the table, having accumulated only one point from six matches.
