Swansea see off Carmarthen to reach Welsh Cup quarters

Swansea City Women eased into the quarter-finals of the Bute Energy Welsh Cup with a 3-0 win at Carmarthen Town Women in the second round.

The Adran Premier visitors were frustrated by a dogged Carmarthen defence until after the hour-mark, when Emily Richards unleashed a left-footed strike from long range that flew into the back of the net.

Carmarthen's goal led a charmed life in a frantic moment of action that saw Jess Williams’ initial header hit the post from a corner, with home goalkeeper Ffion Ashman blocking Aimee Deacon's follow-up before Robyn Pinder again hit the woodwork with the rebound.

But a minute later Sammy Wynne worked space on the right of the Carmarthen box to squeeze a shot into the bottom right corner, then turned provider for substitute Jasmine Guymer to claim a third goal late on.
