Cardiff City’s women’s team are preparing for a “massive” end of the season with two cup finals and a crunch game at the Cardiff City Stadium against Wrexham on Sunday.

The Bluebirds secured their second successive Adran Premier title on Wednesday the 27^th of March with a dominant 4-0 win over rivals Swansea City.

“There was a spring in our step on Wednesday,” said attacking midfielder Kerry Walklett.

“You knew we were going to dominate that game before we left the changing rooms because there was a spring in the team which I haven’t seen before.”

While Walklett signed in January, right wing-back Lisa Owen has been at the club since 2014.

“Swansea is still our biggest game of the season,” said Owen.

“I’ve been at the club for so long now where at one time we’d expect to be beaten by them every game sometimes we’d lose 7-0, 5-0 and it shows how far we’ve come to beat them 4-0 on Wednesday, it’s a massive achievement for us girls.

“Especially the girls that have stayed by the team the development has been crazy.”

Whilst that win was impressive, Cardiff suffered a 2-0 loss in Llandarcy against Swansea last time out and will be keen to bounce back.

Despite the league being sown up it was still emotional for Owen to lose against Cardiff’s fierce rivals.

““It was disappointing to lose to Swansea on the weekend,” said Owen.

“Wednesday was a one off, we had a different starting 11, people playing for minutes and wanting to prove a point, a lot of us hadn’t played as that 11 together so it was about giving people opportunities and experiences, come Sunday we’ll want to bounce back from that.”

Cardiff will have a chance of revenge when they face their bitterest of rivals in the Adran Trophy final on 14^th of April, a competition Cardiff are yet to win.

However, before that is the prospect of a game against Wrexham at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday.

“It’s great for women’s football that Wrexham are pushing it so much,” said Owen.

“It shows how far women’s football has come too, it’s great for the league to publicise us.

“You can’t underestimate anyone in the league, I wouldn’t underestimate Wrexham, anyone can come out on top on Sunday!”

The game at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday is the first of a trio of big games which includes a cup final against Swansea and another against Wrexham in May.

“Since I’ve come in it’s been the absolute meat end of the season,” said Walklett.

“We’ve had so many games and we’re still training three times a week with a lot of squad rotations and with that at times there can be a bit of disjointedness.

“It’s difficult because every game is massive and you want to win every game even though we’ve won the league, on Sunday when we lift the trophy, we want to do it with a win and not get beat at home.

“It’s been a long old season I can see it with the girls a number of them are carrying niggles and trying to hold on till the end.”

Cardiff’s win this season has secured their place in the Champions League for another season, something which excites Walklett having not had the opportunity to play in the competition before.

“It’s a funny one for me because I’m still in pre-season in my mind,” said Walklett.

“The biggest thing with the Champions League for me is I’m looking forward to going away on that almost intense course, getting to know everyone and not just the football which will be amazing.

“I’ve come into a new country, even though it is just down the road, I didn’t know anyone, so it’s taken me two months to feel a bit more comfortable.

“The next three games are massive so it is hard for Iain Darbyshire or any of the coaching team to throw me in, it’s about patient and enjoying the minutes I get and enjoying my time with the girls and hopefully I can hit the ground running in pre-season.”
