Storm Isha did not stop 1312 fans attending Ninian Park for the iconic fixture. Cardiff City’s Eliza Collie showed Wrexham who was boss when she smashed 2 goals into the back of the net before half time. Collie scored in the 7th and 34th minutes with Tija Richardson rubbing salt into wounds sealing a 3-0 victory against their Wrexham rivals.
Cardiff City Women currently sit at the top of the table with south Wales rivals Swansea close behind and Wrexham sitting comfortably in third place. Women’s football has come a long way but of course there is still a long way to go to get to the same level as the respective men’s teams. Ninian Park is Cardiff City’s club as well as the Wales National Teams football club and it has a total capacity of 21,508 so just over 6% of the stadium was full compared to Cardiff City v Bristol City or Swansea City which are normally derby day sell outs in the championship. Although the Welsh Premier Womens League has 8 teams compared to Championship which has 22 teams.
