Wrexham Women beat Aberystwyth Town on penalties to reach the Genero Adran Trophy Semi-Finals, joined by Briton Ferry, Cardiff City, and The New Saints.

Briton Ferry Llansawel 2-0 Barry Town United (Att: 93)
Swansea City 0-6 Cardiff City (Att: 120)
The New Saints 5-1 Pontypridd United (Att: 76)
Wrexham 2-2 Aberystwyth Town (Wrexham won 5-4 on pens) (Att: 269)

Wrexham twice took the lead through Rosie Hughes and Jodie Bartle, with Lily Moralee-Hughes and Millie Gardner replying, the latter scoring seven minutes into added time. Faye Hillier-Knox converted the decisive spot kick after Imogen Scourfield was unable to beat goalkeeper Liz Craven.

Struggling Pontypridd again scored first through Madison Lloyd, but the very unfortunate Anna Phelps conceded two own goals in five minutes. Tiggy Webb, Lexi Harrison, and Maria Francis-Jones each added a goal for The New Saints.

Briton Ferry beat Barry with Jade Crofts scoring early in the first half, followed by Maia Owen soon after the interval.

Swansea City crashed out 6-0 at home to Cardiff City, with Hannah Power and Kerry Walklett setting the Bluebirds on their way with early goals. Mackenzie Olden added the third, an own-goal from Eilish Mitchell made it four, before Fiona Barry sealed the win with a brace.
