Cardiff City came back from going one nil behind to win 3-1 in the Genero Adran Trophy Semi-Final.
The match was finely balanced at half time with neither side able to find the back of the net. Caitlin Chapman handed the advantage to the visitors in the 56th minute. City were handed a lifeline from the penalty spot but Phoebie Poole missed the target.
This didn’t matter in the end as Manon Pearce (71′) levelled and Siobhan Walsh (81′) put the home side ahead. While Poole made amends by netting in the 83rd minute, securing a place in the final against Cardiff Met.
