Gwent Top Group and qualify for Semi-Finals. Swansea City, Gwent, Penarth and Colwyn Bay will now compete in a Round Robin tournament on 9th March.

Report from Andrew Jones
Well Done to our Ladies Under 18's team who qualified for the Welsh Club Championship Semi Finals today in Swansea.
Superb team performance, with everyone playing their part.
Game One: 3-0 win against Abergavenny, with goals from Fleur Atkins (2) and Bethan Doughty.
Game Two: 12 - 0 win over Bridgend. Hat-trick for Bethan Doughty, 2 from both Fleur Atkins & Olivia Ashill and one each from Saskia Barth, Emma Hart, Abbie Simms Lauren Dunn and Stevie Jones.
Going into Game Three, we had a +15 goal Diff against Penarth's +10 and only needed a draw against them to qualify for the Semi Finals. The girls really dug deep and not even a 15 minute 'stoppage' for a hail storm with only two minutes to go, could alter the girls determination to see this game to its conclusion and get the point needed. Final score 0 - 0.
Special thanks must go to Cath Foster & Emily Meredith who gave up their free time today to come along as our Under 18's Gwent representatives on the umpires rota.
And not forgetting all the parents and other players and coaches who came along to support the team.
