Opposition Focus:

Aber currently sit in 7^TH in the Adran Premier and are four points behind the Reds who lead the Plate Conference. 

Aber come into this game on the back of a 5-0 win over Pontypridd United at USW Sport Park.  The visitors beginning strongly with Amy Jenkins scoring after five minutes and then doubling the lead in the 22^nd.  Rebecca Mathias add a third before half time with Dani Mawle and  Millie Gardner both scoring in the second half. 

That win is the only one from their six games with defeats in the league against Cardiff City, The New Saints and Barry Town United.  They drew with Wrexham in the  Adran Trophy in a thrilling contest that saw them come from behind twice.  Millie Gardner with a 97^th minute goal to take the game to a shoot out which Wrexham won.

Late goals have been a theme for Aber who also scored late in Ferry’s last visit to Park Avenue.  Lily Moralee-Hughes gave Aber the lead before two Meg Kearle goals turned the game around but the Reds were unable to hold out for the win with  Rebecca Mathias equalising in the 96^th minute. 

The head to head this season is in favour of the hosts Sunday with Aber coming from two behind to win at The Renewable Centre Stadium. 

Another close contest should be expected this weekend.
