Sis, Nobody Asked For This Podcast

Adran Premier Weekend 3 ⚽️

We break down all the action from the third weekend of the Genero Adran Premier, looking at the key talking points, standout performances and players making an early impact.

With the Adran North and Adran South campaigns kicking off, we also look ahead to both leagues, highlighting some of the players and teams to keep a close eye on this season.

Joining us is the brilliant Harry Ware - Women’s Football Researcher, for an insightful look at the talent coming through Welsh women’s football and the names you should have on your radar.

A packed episode covering the present, the future and plenty of Welsh women’s football! 🎙️⚽️

In this episode, we’re joined by three of Hannah’s former Cardiff City teammates - Siobahn Walsh, Catherine Walsh and Zoe Atkins. All with a wealth of experience playing football at the top level domestically in Wales.

We take a trip down memory lane and talk about how each of their football careers began, their favourite moments from playing, the friendships and memories that came from being part of the game, as well as some of the disappointments and challenges they experienced along the way.

We also get into Tier 2 football in Wales and the incredible journey of Llanrumney, including their back-to-back promotions that took the club into Tier 2.

But this conversation goes beyond playing. We discuss what it actually felt like when their playing careers came to an end, the emotions that came with stepping away from the game, and how those experiences have shaped them as coaches today.

How has being a player influenced the coaches they’ve become? What lessons from their playing days still impact the way they coach? And what does football mean when you’re no longer the one stepping onto the pitch?

A genuine conversation about football, friendships, careers, disappointments, memories, and the journey from player to coach.

The Adran Premier is back! ⚽️🔥

Season 2 kicks off with a big look ahead to the 2026/27 Adran Premier opening games on 6 September, as we get stuck into everything happening across Welsh women’s football.

We start with a little summer holiday catch-up because yes, we’re teachers and we needed a break! 😅 before diving straight into the football.

We take a look back at the Welsh Cup, exploring its history and the dominance we’ve seen over the last 15 years, before turning our attention to the growing opportunities for Welsh clubs and players on the European stage.

We chat about what Champions League football in Wales means for the next generation, particularly the young girls in North Wales who had the chance to watch their role models playing European football on their doorstep.

We also celebrate a huge moment for Mariam Mahmood, who was honoured by Wrexham after making history as the first woman of South Asian heritage to play in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. A milestone that deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

There’s also exciting news around Wales facilitating a Women’s Under-23 training camp, following the campaign to help bridge the gap between youth and senior international football.

And, of course, we get into all the hot transfer talk 👀 who’s moved, who’s strengthened, and which clubs could surprise us this season?

Hannah gives us the lowdown on her pre-season, while we put our cards on the table with some early predictions.

We’re also keeping a close eye on sisters Amy and Lily Deacon, and we’re excited to see how their talent develops and the goal contributions they could make throughout the season.

So, with new signings, familiar faces, European ambitions, young talent and plenty of unanswered questions… What is the 2026/27 Adran Premier going to bring?

Join us as we get ready for another season of Welsh women’s football and remember…

Sis, nobody asked for this. But we’re giving it to you anyway. 🎙️⚽️

Episode 11 | Soraya Kelly on Wales' U23 Campaign, Alice Griffiths' Retirement & Plymouth Argyle Women's Crisis

This week on Sis, Nobody Asked For This, we're joined by special guest Soraya Kelly, who discusses her campaign for the Football Association of Wales to introduce a Wales Women's U23 team, creating a crucial bridge in the international pathway for young players aspiring to represent their country.

We also discuss the shock retirement of young Welsh footballer Alice Griffiths and what it says about the challenges facing players in the women's game. Plus, we look at the highlights from the FAW National League Awards and celebrate some of the outstanding talent across Welsh football.

Importantly, we dive into the situation surrounding Plymouth Argyle Women, where players were informed via email that their contracts would not be renewed following budget cuts. We ask the difficult question: why does it so often seem that women's teams are the first to bear the brunt of financial decisions in football?

As always, it's just two sisters talking honestly about football, the stories that matter, and the issues shaping the women's game.

Episode 10 marks a special milestone for us as we wrap up the 25/26 season. A campaign full of drama, growth, and defining moments across the league.

We kick things off by reliving one of the most incredible matches of the season: a historic South Wales derby Welsh Cup Final that had everything. From a stunning comeback to the tension of penalties, it was football at its very best. We also celebrate the moment Hannah lifts the trophy in front of daughter Nelly and her family and how much it means to win silverware.

The conversation then shifts to the broader landscape of the league, where we break down the growing gap between the top four and bottom four sides. Investment continues to play a huge role, and we explore what that means for the future competitiveness of the league and how the league can close that gap?

We shout out to Cardiff met on their bounce back to top flight football and we discuss the challenges they’ll face stepping up to the top flight and what they’ll need to do to survive and compete.

We also take time to congratulate Wrexham on an extraordinary season, securing the double in what will go down as a historic first league triumph. It’s a huge achievement and a sign of what ambition and backing can deliver.

This episode also includes a heartfelt tribute to Stacey John, who retires after 14 incredible years at Swansea. Alongside that, we reflect on the announcement from Wales legend and all-time great Jessica Fishlock, whose retirement marks the end of an iconic era for Welsh football.

As always, we highlight standout performers across the league, giving shoutouts to players who have consistently impressed and made their mark this season and the politics of team of the week selections.

We don’t shy away from controversy either, sharing our thoughts on recent incident if hair pulling across the game, is it violent conduct and how do we stamp it out?

Looking ahead, we chat about what the off-season holds for Hannah, both on and off the pitch, before rounding off with congratulations to Cardiff City men on their promotion.

A milestone episode filled with reflection, celebration, and honest discussion - the perfect way to close out the season.

From training ground realities to building a personal brand, this is an honest and inspiring conversation with one of football’s rising stars.

Sis… nobody asked for this, but we’re giving it to you anyway!

Welcome back to Episode 7 ⚽️

This week, we’re joined by Kayleigh Barton for an honest conversation about football, identity, and what happens when the game you love comes to an end.

Kayleigh takes us through her full journey - from amateur football to semi-pro, to becoming a professional player with Brighton & Hove Albion, and Charlton Athletic. She reflects on switching from centre-back to centre-forward, the managers and teammates who shaped her mindset, and the discipline it took to compete at the highest level.

We also talk about representing Wales at the historic UEFA Women’s Euro Tournament in 2025 - a defining moment not just in her career, but in Welsh football history.

But this episode goes deeper than matchdays and medals. Kayleigh opens up about grieving retirement, the emotional shift of stepping away from professional football, and learning who she is outside of the sport. Now stepping into coaching, she shares her ambition to become a standout manager in the women’s game both at club level and on the international stage and what she’s doing now to build that future.

This one is about growth, legacy, and rewriting your story when the plan changes.

Because sometimes, sis… the next chapter is bigger than the first. 🎙️
