Trivia

Cardiff Met. Ladies made history by recording the new record win for a Women's Premier League match on 10 March 2013 when they defeated Caerphilly Castle Ladies 43–0, surpassing a previous record set by Newcastle Emlyn Ladies against the same opponents.[6] Emily Allen holds the record of the most number of goals in a Women's Premier League match, with 15 in Cardiff Met. Ladies record win.[6] After half a season Caerphilly Castle though withdrew from the league and results were deleted from standings. So both records are void now.
