Credit Dafydd Tomos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The only other Welsh team to compete in the National League is Swansea Ladies. They play in the Premier Division; Penarth will play below them in the Conference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Podmore said: \u201cNot only is it brilliant on a personal level, but it\u2019s brilliant for the club and for Welsh hockey to have two women\u2019s clubs playing in the national league.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The promotion creates new opportunities for Penarth. The success of rivals Swansea has meant most players who represent Wales have come through their system, but now Penarth are competing nationally that may not be the only route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Tomos said: &#8220;What has been happening is the main player base has always been in the Cardiff area, and all the clubs around Cardiff have been bringing on juniors and then they all leave to go to Swansea if they are good enough, so now what we are going to offer is somewhere in Cardiff where those players can progress and play at the higher level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambitions for next season are clear, Penarth want to make an impact on the league. Mr Tomos said:  \u201cFor the first season it\u2019s not just a case of surviving, we\u2019ll be aiming for top five at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With our promotion as well, we will attract players so I\u2019m hoping to strengthen the squad. We are losing some juniors to universities at the end of this season, which is a shame, so there will be gaps in our squad that need to be filled.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Podmore said: \u201cI just want us to be able to hold our own, I want us as a team to perform and show that we deserve to be there. It is going to be a big step for us we are going to be playing teams that have been playing at a higher standard longer than we have, and I want us to be able to be good competition for other teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penarth&#8217;s chances of competing In Europe also increase. Mr Tomos said: \u201cThat\u2019s been my biggest ambition really since I started working with them as much as the leagues, is getting the girls playing in Europe, because some of the older players in the squad have had it before, and we\u2019ve shown that were easily the second-best team in Wales by quite a long way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest ranked National League team in Wales play in Europe, a spot is also guaranteed to whoever wins the Championship Trophy, one of the cup competitions in Wales.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-770x518.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1536x1033.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-293x197.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1400x942.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey.jpg 1552w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-770x518.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1536x1033.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-293x197.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey-1400x942.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/03\/training-hockey.jpg 1552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><strong>Promoted: Penarth Ladies hockey team<\/strong>.
