Cardiff City thumped Wrexham 6-1 to open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Adran Premier.

Cardiff’s victory comes as nearest challengers Swansea City saw their game with Aberystwyth Town postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Llandarcy.

Meanwhile, Barry Town United rose to the top of the Plate division courtesy of an emphatic 3-0 triumph against The New Saints.

Angharad Beman claimed a brace while India Shanahan also got on the scoresheet as Barry stretched their unbeaten league run to three matches.

Elsewhere, Lucy Attwood’s late goal earned Pontypridd United a 2-2 draw with 10-player Cardiff Met, but it was not enough to avoid being relegated

Nieve Jenkins put Met ahead after just 12 minutes, although Shannon Hindmarsh equalised for Pontypridd after the half-hour mark.

Esme Kilburn-Thompson restored Cardiff Met’s lead before they had Tiggeraa Webb sent off.

And Pontypridd earned a share of the spoils as Attwood netted an equaliser six minutes from time.

However, Pontypridd will drop out of the top tier as they are 13 points adrift at the foot of the table with just four games left to play this season.

Tranmere Rovers boss Adkins is backing Wrexham to go up.

“Wrexham are going to get promoted and we’ve had to come away from home on an exceptional pitch and we’ve come away with three points,” said Adkins.

We knew we’d get an opportunity. After that it’s fair to say we had to go and fix bayonets, they were in the ascendancy and we couldn’t keep the football.

“They made five substitutions, they were a land of giants, we knew they would be, set-pieces were always going to be a threat, but the lads defended them ever so well and we kept the clean sheet.

“We’ve shown another dynamic to us as a team, that grit, resilience, togetherness of everybody sticking together and finding a way to go and win.

“The way the lads defended as a team and put some thunderous tackles in and blocks and the desire to keep the ball out of the back of the net is something for us to build on.”
