Head To Head


The Reds have won the last seven meetings between the sides the most recent coming in this seasons Adran Trophy. Two goals from Alison Witts helping the Reds to a 4-0 win.

Ferry won all four meetings last season but had to work hard on their last visit to Swansea. Back in January Angelika Barris' 12th minute goal gave Swansea Uni a half time lead. In a crunch game in last seasons title race goals from Meg Kearle and Lucy Powell in the second half turn the game and gave the reds a vital win.

Manager Rhys James is aware of how tough this game could potentially be saying,

"Its going to be a tough test against a good Swansea University team.


"They made it very difficult for us in the cup.


"We always seem to drop our levels on their pitch but we are completely aware of this and something we have highlighted already.


"If we are not up to the battle, we will lose it."


With Swansea Uni able to top the table with a win James knows that his team are a target for the other sides in the league.


"Every team in our league knows we are the team to beat.


"There's always a target on our back but that makes us stronger as characters.


"We know every game we go into we must win and Sunday is no exception."
