🔴 The World Is Full of “What Ifs”… ⚽

A disappointing night at the Renewable Centre Stadium for Andy and the boys on Friday evening.
Going into half-time with a 2-0 lead, instead of just 1-0. there would have been plenty of reason for optimism. Had we converted the penalty, it could have been game over and potentially a very different outcome. However, Connah’s Quay Nomads showed exactly why they are riding high in the Novira Cymru Premiership, turning the game around in the second half.

Despite the disappointment, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance. It was great to see Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC playing some good football, keeping the ball on the deck and looking to get down the channels.
Football is full of what-ifs, but there is plenty to build on. If we continue to play that way and get everyone back fit and available, I’m confident there are more positive times and better results just around the corner. ❤️🖤

🔴 One Club – One Team – One Community 🔴

Away from the pitch, the Community Reds Outreach Programme continues to develop a range of initiatives designed not only to grow our supporter base at the Renewable Centre Stadium, but also to strengthen our links with the wider community and promote everything that Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC stands for.
Our aim is to break down barriers, overcome obstacles and create opportunities for everyone to become involved with our club. We want to build a football community where everybody feels welcome, valued and included.

🙌 Could YOU become a Community Reds Games Maker?
As you may have read, we are looking to recruit enthusiastic volunteers to join our growing team of Games Makers and help bring our matchday initiatives to life.

This includes:
🔴 Supporting themed matchdays and special events.
⚫ Helping develop our matchday entertainment programme.
🔴 Getting involved in our half-time competitions.
⚫ Helping create a welcoming, exciting and inclusive matchday experience for supporters of all ages.

We also have proposals for a Junior Supporters Club and a Fans Red Forum currently awaiting approval by the club board. These initiatives could help give our younger supporters a stronger voice and provide fans with more opportunities to get involved, share ideas and help shape the future of their club.

💪 We can only achieve our goals by working together.

Whether you can spare a few hours on matchdays, have ideas to share, or simply want to help make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
Let’s continue to build something special, both on and off the pitch, ensuring that nobody is left sitting on the bench.

❤️ One Club – One Team – One Community ❤️

🔴 Another Busy Week at the Community Reds! 🔴

It’s been another busy and exciting start to the week for members of the Community Reds Team.

It was an excellent weekend for our Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Men’s and Women’s teams, with both sides recording fantastic victories.

⚽ The Men’s team secured a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Colwyn Bay, in front of a noisy and passionate Red Brigade.

⚽ Our Women’s team produced an outstanding 7–1 victory against Aberystwyth Town Women, featuring not one, but two hat-tricks from Briton Ferry Llansawel players! 🔥

👏 Well done to both teams, and a huge thank you to all the supporters who came along and got behind the players. Your support really is appreciated by both sets of players.

After all the excitement of the weekend’s matches, it was back to the various administration tasks, planning and meetings required to keep the Community Reds shipshape and, importantly, to ensure that we continue to look at ways to maintain, develop and grow our programme.

🔴⚽ IT'S GAME DAY! ⚽🔴

After another busy week of Community Reds Outreach Sessions, it's time to turn our attention back to Matchday down at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

Today, Andy and the boys take on Colwyn Bay in the Novira Cymru Premiership, with a 2:30pm kick-off.

It’s also a special day for our Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Academy, with the Under-10s holding their sign-on session before the game. The youngsters will then have the fantastic experience of being our player mascots for this afternoon's match. ❤️

🔵 Colwyn Bay supporters – hopefully you’ll be joining the coachload making the journey down south. Bring your colours, fill the away end and make some noise for your team!

🍺 Bar Red will be open from 12 noon, along with Red & Fed, so there’s plenty of time to get yourselves match-ready before kick-off.

🎤 We’ve also got a singer booked for after the game, so hopefully we can round off the afternoon with a positive result and three points.

It certainly won’t be easy. Colwyn Bay have made a good start to the season and currently find themselves in the European play-off places this early in the campaign.

Our own results have been a little up and down, but if we can keep 11 men on the pitch and put in the performances we know we are capable of, I’m sure it won’t be long before Andy and the boys are back to winning ways and climbing the table.

🔴⚪ Tomorrow, it's the turn of the Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Women's team, as they welcome Aberystwyth to the Renewable Centre Stadium. Hopefully the girls can bounce back from last week's game against big-spending Wrexham.

But for today, it's time to get ready, pack the Matchday Bag and head down to the stadium!

Let's get behind the boys, fill the ground and create another big Matchday atmosphere.

📣 FILL THE GROUND. BRING THE NOISE. BACK THE REDS!

🔴⚪ COME ON YOU REDS! 🔴⚪

🔴 Another Fantastic Day with the Community Reds! 🔴

Yesterday was another fun-filled day for the Community Reds team as we delivered one of our Community Outreach sessions with Age Connect in Margam.

Yesterday’s activity was New Age Kurling, and everyone got involved, had fun and, of course, enjoyed a little bit of friendly competition! 🎯

We started the session with a gentle musical warm-up before getting into a competitive game of New Age Kurling.

It was Team Red vs Team Blue, and after the Blues had been in front for most of the game, Team Red came through strongly to finish as winners by 50 points! 🔴🏆

But, as we always say, it’s not all about winning — it’s about taking part.

Yes, it’s nice to have that winning feeling, but for the Community Reds team, it is about so much more:

❤️ Sharing
❤️ Trying new things
❤️ Building confidence
❤️ Breaking down barriers
❤️ Bringing people together
❤️ Creating opportunities
❤️ Creating, Enabling & Empowering Change

Most importantly, it is about our commitment to “Ensuring Nobody is left sitting on the Bench.”

Yesterday’s session delivered all of that — and more. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, supporting each other, having a laugh and enjoying being active together.

🌍 WORLD MASTERS WALKING FOOTBALL CUP – 2027

With the dust now settled on the World Masters Walking Football Cup, held here in August 2026, the final evaluation feedback forms have now filtered through, enabling us to complete the Final Evaluation Report.

The evaluation asked players, officials, volunteers and supporters what they enjoyed about the event, what worked well and, importantly, what could be improved for future World Masters events.

The feedback has been extremely positive and encouraging.

It has also highlighted a couple of areas that we will share with the next host country, England, in 2027, to help them build on the success of this year's event.

And there is some fantastic news…

Subject to a successful venue inspection and the signing of the appropriate contract, our Community Reds Outreach Team will be involved in delivering the World Masters Walking Football Cup in England in 2027. 👏⚽🌍

This is fantastic news and a real testament to the hard work of everyone involved in making the 2026 event such a success.

The players, officials, volunteers and supporters clearly enjoyed their experience, the welcome they received and the facilities here at Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC.

Now we have to build on that success and make 2027 even bigger and better!

⚽ A BIG WEEKEND OF FOOTBALL AHEAD!

It’s another packed weekend of football for all the teams at Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC.

🔴 Friday Night: Andy and the boys make the trip to Haverfordwest in the Novira Cymru Premiership, hoping to kick-start the season and return to winning ways following three straight defeats.

🔴 Sunday: Briton Ferry Llansawel Women are back at home looking to make it two wins from two, following last weekend’s fantastic 4–1 victory away to Barry Town United.

Whatever you're doing today, have a fantastic day.

⚽ What a start for the Briton Ferry Llansawel Women! ❤️

The Briton Ferry Llansawel Women kicked off the new season in fine style with an impressive 4–1 victory away to Barry Town United. What a great way to start the season! 👏⚽

I hope everyone who made the trip down the M4 had a fantastic day and enjoyed celebrating a great result. Well done to the players, management and everyone involved. ❤️

It’s a new week here at the Community Reds, and with no Outreach Sessions today, it’s time for us to get into the office and evaluate, plan and implement changes to our Inclusion Sports Programme — continuing our commitment to “Ensuring Nobody is left sitting on the Bench.”

🏏 Inclusion Blast Pirates

With the nights beginning to draw in, it won’t be long before we put away the pads, bats and balls for another season of our weekly Inclusion Blast Pirates cricket sessions, delivered in partnership with Port Talbot Pirates Cricket Club.

It has been fantastic fun and a real pleasure watching and working alongside our players each week — helping them develop their skills, build confidence and, most importantly, enjoy the game.

A huge well done to everyone involved. It really has been a blast! 🏏👏

And we have some fantastic and exciting news coming up regarding our cricket partnership and programme.

Port Talbot Pirates Cricket Club has been named as one of Cricket Wales’ new Disability Cricket Hubs, as they look to grow and develop disability cricket across Wales. 🏏❤️

More information about this exciting development — and how you can get involved — will be shared shortly, so watch this space!

🙌 Become Part of the Community Reds Team

Perhaps you could support our matchday activities down at the Renewable Centre Stadium, help at our Community Outreach Sessions, get involved with fundraising, or maybe you have a flair for marketing and social media.

It was another frustrating result at the Renewable Centre Stadium last night.

First of all, well done to Airbus and the handful of supporters who made the long journey down from the north. We hope you enjoyed your visit and had a safe journey home.

In my role as the Club’s SLO & Disability Access Officer, I get the opportunity to meet some really nice and interesting people, and yesterday’s game was another one of those occasions. Meeting and greeting visiting supporters, as well as our own home fans, is a big part of what I enjoy about the role.

It was fantastic to hear the Red Brigade bringing the noise, enthusiasm, passion and support throughout the game. 👏🔴 Well done to everyone involved.

Once again, we didn’t quite get the rub of the green, but that’s football. We have to dust ourselves down, put in the work both on and off the field, stay together and keep believing. I’m sure the results will change. It’s still very early days, and there is plenty of football to be played.

🏟️ Supporting Our Fans

As part of my SLO & Disability Access Officer role, after every game I complete and forward my SLO report. This includes information about any issues or incidents, along with feedback from the away SLO, supporters and stewards.

These reports are helping us to listen to our supporters and make positive changes.

As a result, we have produced a new Briton Ferry Llansawel Fans Guide, and we will soon be introducing a Junior Fans Charter and Junior Fan Club for our younger supporters.

This is an exciting new initiative which will raise the profile of our Junior Supporters and help us continue to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Keep an eye out for the posters and details of the launch event.

Most importantly, we want our Junior Supporters to have a voice and a part to play in the success and future of following Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC. ❤️🖤

⚽ Weekend Football

If you’re looking for your weekend football fix, the Under-19s are at home on Sunday.

And best of luck to Briton Ferry Llansawel Women, who kick off their Premiership League campaign with a trip to Barry Town United.

Good luck to everyone involved — let’s start the campaign with, hopefully, three points! 🔴⚽

❤️ Community Reds

Finally, a huge thank you to Wyn, Tom, Tom and the Board for the allocation of 50 matchday tickets for home games at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

These tickets will be used by the Community Reds Outreach Programme, giving people we work with across the local and wider community the opportunity to come along, experience live football and become part of the Briton Ferry Llansawel family.

This is another fantastic example of how One Club – One Team – One Community can make a real difference.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone.

Come on the Reds! 🔴⚽

🔴 IT'S GAME DAY! 🔴

It’s back under the lights at the Renewable Centre Stadium tonight as Andy and the boys return to Novira Cymru Premiership action.

Tonight we welcome newly promoted Airbus, who have made a strong start to life in the Premiership. Their last outing saw them record an impressive 6–2 home victory over Holywell.

So tonight’s task certainly won’t be an easy one as Andy and the boys look to bounce back from two consecutive defeats and get back to winning ways.

The atmosphere at our last home game was absolutely cracking, with over 1,000 supporters inside the stadium. Let’s see if we can create more of the same tonight!

❤️ Colour. Noise. Passion. Support.

Let’s fill the Renewable Centre Stadium and get right behind Andy and the boys from the first whistle to the last.

📅 Tonight
⏰ Kick-off 7.45pm
🏟️ Renewable Centre Stadium

🔴⚽ COME ON YOU REDS! ⚽🔴

❤️ COMMUNITY REDS – VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

It’s been a quieter week on the delivery side of the Community Reds Outreach Programme, but behind the scenes we’ve certainly been busy!

We’ve been working on our Autumn Programme, alongside putting the finishing touches to our new Volunteer Training Programme.

The training programme will be broken down into several different sections, helping volunteers develop a wide range of transferable skills that can also be valuable in the workplace — particularly for individuals looking to improve their employability and explore new employment opportunities.

As part of the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your own personal portfolio, demonstrating the knowledge, experience and key skills that employers are looking for.

From communication and teamwork to organisation, leadership, confidence and practical volunteering experience, this is an opportunity to develop, learn and grow while making a positive difference within your community.

📣 The Community Reds Volunteer Training Programme launches in October!

LIFE, FOOTBALL & THE CHALLENGES WE FACE ⚽️❤️

In life, just as in football, we will all face setbacks, challenges and disappointing days. But it’s how we respond to those setbacks — and the actions we take afterwards — that can ultimately determine the outcome.

For many of you, this is an important week as you start a new school year, perhaps begin college or university, or even start a new job. Along with the opportunities that come with something new, there can also be a mixture of excitement, apprehension and uncertainty.

The important thing is to embrace the change, put in the work, give it your best effort and never be afraid of a challenge. Hopefully, those efforts will bring the rewards you are working towards.

Yesterday was a disappointing result for Andy and the boys, and for the many supporters packed into the Renewable Centre Stadium. But, just as in life, we have to dust ourselves down, learn from what happened, put it behind us and get ready to go again.

And that's exactly what the boys will do as we get ready to welcome newly promoted Airbus to the Renewable Centre Stadium on Friday night, 7.45pm kick-off.

It’s another opportunity to put things right — and they’ll need your support once again.

Just like football, life will bring us good days and bad days. Yesterday was one of the bad ones.

But one result doesn’t define a season, and one setback doesn’t define us.

We learn.
We improve.
We work harder.
And we go again. 💪⚽️❤️

So, to everyone starting something new this week — believe in yourself, embrace the challenge and give it everything you’ve got.

Come on you Reds! 🔴⚽️

One Club. One Team. One Community.
