Cardiff City secured the Bute Energy Welsh Cup for a fourth successive season with a 3-1 victory over Wrexham in Newport.
In the repeat of last season's welsh women's final, goals from Lilly Billingham, Shannon Evans and Fiona Barry were enough to complete the league and cup double for the Bluebirds.
Billingham, unmarked in midfield, rifled in a 30 yard screamer to open the scoring at Rodney Parade.
Evans added a second, heading in from a looping Ffion Price free-kick.
From the restart Wrexham won a penalty as Abbie Iddenden, the Dragons' biggest threat, was tripped by Ceryn Chamberlain. Iddenden slotted in the spot kick to halve the deficit with her 17th of the season.
After the interval Iddenden had a second penalty attempt, but this time her poor effort was easily saved by Chamberlain and Lili Mai Jones saw her thunderbolt come back off the crossbar.
City put the result beyond doubt when Barry slid in her team's third with 15 minutes remaining, leaving Wrexham to wait for a first Welsh Cup triumph continues.
