Welsh Premier Women's Football League
The Welsh Premier Women's Football League was formed in 2009 by the Football Association of Wales.
The League kicked off in September 2009 with eight teams in two Regional conferences. The teams play each other twice (home and away) and the winners of each conference then play-off in a Final to determine the inaugural Welsh Premier Women's Football League Champions.
The prize for the Winners of the competition when it concludes in April, will not only be the prestige of being crowned the inaugural Welsh Premier Women's Football League Champions, but also £8,000 in prize money and a place in the UEFA Women's Cup next season, which will be awarded to the League Champions, when in previous years, it's been awarded to the Cup Winners.
History was made in Aberystwyth on the evening of 24th September 2009, when the first ever Welsh Premier Women's Football League match kicked-off. The opening game at Park Avenue saw Aberystwyth Town Ladies beat Llanidloes Town Ladies 2-0 in front of 367 spectators.
The eight clubs who formed the League are as follows;
Southern Conference: Manobier Ladies, Newcastle Emlyn Ladies, Swansea City Ladies, UWIC Ladies
Northern Conference: Aberystwyth Town Ladies, Caernarfon Town Ladies, Llanidloes Ladies, Wrexham Ladies.
