Swansea City Ladies fell short of advancing from the Uefa Women's Champions League qualifying stage in Cyprus.

Ian Owen's side won one of their three games, but still took many positives from their experience.

The Swans took on Ukrainian champions Legenda Chernigiv in their opening game, and were unlucky not to have picked up a point for their efforts.

Despite having a number of opportunities to take the lead via Tija Richardson, Sarah Adams and Lindsay Morgan, the Swans fell behind with four minutes remaining.

Legenda sealed victory with another goal in injury time.

Following their encouraging performance against Legenda, the Swans were then totally outclassed by hosts Appolon Limassol.

Facing a side that included a number of internationals, the Swans went down 8-0 in a game played in 45 degrees heat.

But the campaign ended on a positive not for the ladies as they beat Luxembourg champions Progres Niedercorn 4-0.

With several changes made to the team from the previous game, the Swans stamped their authority early on by dominating possession with a quick short passing game.

Wales Under-19 international Chloe O'Connor - making her first competitive start - opened the scoring with a cool finish midway through the first half.

The Swans continued to dominate the game in the second half and constantly tested the opposition defence.

Tija Richardson doubled the lead in the 53rd minute before Jodie Passmore and Abbie Britton completed the scoring.

Manager Owen said: "I'm really proud of the way the squad applied itself.

"They have showed great attitude and determination against quality opposition in extremely hot weather conditions.

"To finish with this performance with such a young team on the field is very pleasing."
