Cardiff city come to The Renewable Centre this weekend as the Adran Premier enters the final four fixtures of phase one.
The Bluebirds dropped to second place in the table after last weekends results. Cardiff drawing with The New Saints along with Wrexham’s win over Swansea City meaning the reigning champions drop from the top spot.

The result meaning the Bluebirds are now two points behind new leaders Wrexham.
