If you made it completely non-contact I expect a few of the women’s teams would beat conference standard men’s teams ... but then again, like everyone else in this thread, I have no feckin idea.
I mean, personally I reckon surprisingly well.
I know Bangor Town’s U15s played the Welsh National Team’s first XI as preparation for one of the games. Bangor U15s won 8-0.
That was the same Welsh side who drew to the third best women’s team in the world (England).
As for Fairwater, I reckon they would finish 2nd in the group and probably lose in the round of 16.
Overall, Fairwater would have physicality and height on their side (just look at what Wendie Renard did to South Korea... that would be everyone). And on the other hand Women’s side would be better technically and fitness-wise. It would be closer than you think.
Also, if we are saying that they go to the WWC they’d start using tactics where they’d drop deep and counter everyone and everything. It would be an interesting match.
I'd be happy to bet that academy players at good clubs who train properly are fitter than parks players, club youth teams would beat parks teams as well
As the link you posted said, the boys beat an Australia side missing many of their better players with the Australia team rusty having not played in a while whereas in the World Cup the teams have played warm ups to get up to speed following a full league season
