TNS suffered a narrow first loss of the season in a 2-0 defeat at Cardiff City in the Genero Adran Premier in Sunday.

Lisa Owen and Laura Curnock both scored in the second-half for the Bluebirds to claim the three points.

Cardiff City almost scored the opener in the seventh minute when a misplaced pass by goalkeeper Becca Elliott went to Eliza Collie who missed an open target from 16 yards.

The Saints threatened with Maria Francis-Jones testing goalkeeper Ceryn Chamberlain with a 25 yard free-kick while soon Elliott was called on at the other end to deny Ffion Price.

Both sides spurned openings as Molly Havard and Lex Jones fired wide for the Saints.

The capital city club led early in the second-half as Lisa Owen ran through to slot home.

The fate of the match remained in the balance until late on when substitute Laura Curnock scored from outside the box to ensure the Oswestry side went home empty-handed.
