Wrexham bolstered their Adran Premier title hopes with a 3-1 victory over reigning champions Cardiff City.
Following a goalless first half, Faye Knox put the visitors in front 10 minutes into the second half at Cardiff City Stadium.
Mackenzie Olden levelled proceedings in the 73rd minute to set-up an intriguing finale in the Welsh capital.
But Katie Barker's stunner put Jenny Sugarman's side back ahead, with Barker adding her second of the afternoon from the penalty spot three minutes from time after Mariam Mahmood had been brought down.
Victory moves Wrexham - who beat Iain Darbyshire's side on penalties to win the Adran Trophy six days earlier - to within a point of the Bluebirds, and the north Wales side have a game in hand over Cardiff.
The two sides meet again on Sunday, 8 March in the semi-finals of the Bute Energy Welsh Cup.
