PRE-MATCH | IAIN DARBYSHIRE
Ahead of Sunday's clash, head coach Iain Darbyshire said: "We're really looking forward to this weekend's match against Briton Ferry Llansawel. It's been a long season and this is a chance to celebrate our successes in front of our fantastic support. The players are all up for it and we're ready to go.
"It's important to focus on our performance and that we don't just see this as a celebration, we see it as an opportunity to impress and for the players, it's a chance to stake their claim to start in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup Final against Wrexham. We're driving that intensity, because we want to perform in front of our fanbase.
"The support has been brilliant this year. It makes a world of difference to the squad and everyone is excited to have the support that follow us. They have helped us to get over the line in tight battles that we've had throughout this year and we're just so thankful for that support."
PRE-MATCH | MACKENZIE OLDEN
Attacker Mackenzie Olden, who has impressed for City since returning from a long-term injury, added: "The squad are so excited to be back at Cardiff City Stadium and everyone is really looking forward to it. You can see that in training, everyone is working hard and spirits are really high.
"Credit to Briton Ferry this season, they've been a strong and difficult team to play against. It's always a tough game, so for us as a team, it's important to stay focused on the game and to produce a good performance in front of our fans.
"The support this season has really pushed us to perform at our best and win the league trophy again this campaign. Their support will be needed again on Sunday during the game and we will celebrate with them at full-time, because they have played a big part for us."
PRE-MATCH | FIONA BARRY
Fiona Barry, who will be featuring at CCS for the second time in her career on Sunday, said: “Everyone is buzzing to be back playing at Cardiff City Stadium and lifting the trophy as well. Sunday can’t come quick enough. Briton Ferry have been a really strong team this season and every game we have played against them has been difficult. We expect Sunday to be no different, so we know what we have to do and it’s about putting our plan into action.
“The support from the fans has been unreal this season and they’ve contributed to what we’ve done, so we’re really thankful to everyone. Hopefully we can put on a show for them to make our appreciation clear.”
OPPOSITION FOCUS | BRITON FERRY LLANSAWEL
This season, Briton Ferry Llansawel have shown their ability to compete at the top of the table. Rhys James’ side began the campaign by showing their credentials, scoring an impressive 12 goals in the first three games and picking up nine points from games against Aberystwyth Town, Wrexham and Cardiff Met.
Further wins in December over Swansea City and the Bluebirds highlighted that they were in the title race. The key moment in the competition for top spot came in our last meeting with Ferry, as a 2-0 win for City at Old Road proved vital. A corner from Ffion Price found its way into the net, before Mackenzie Olden fired home a second.
A highlight in the club’s season was their performance at the STōK Cae Ras a fortnight ago, when they claimed a 3-1 win over Wrexham in front of a Mother’s Day crowd of more than 2,100 supporters. Those three points secured the side’s place in second, which they will take huge pride from.
Briton Ferry Llansawel have plenty of experience in their squad and are well led by their captain Lowri Ridings, whilst also having the quality of the likes of Laura-may Walkley, Alison Witts and former Bluebird Tija Richardson to call upon.
Of late, it has been Megan Kearle that has impressed however, having notably netted a brace in a 2-2 draw at home to Wrexham last month. After a campaign of huge progress for the side, they arrive to CCS today providing a stern test.
