Briton Ferry are targeting a reaction after suffering back-to-back Cymru Premier defeats. Andy Dyer's side host Airbus UK Broughton this Friday looking to get their season back on track.
The fixture kicks off at 7:45 p.m. At The Renewable Centre Stadium in Neath. The match follows a bank holiday weekend where Ferry's form took a dip with two losses. They currently sit 11th in the Premier League with 7 points from six games, having won two, drawn one, and lost three. Their recent form reads LLWLD.
The club is in its third season at this level and began the campaign with ambition. A victory over Ammanford on the opening day was a positive start. They followed that with a draw against Cambrian, meaning they have remained unbeaten against the promoted sides so far. They have scored 5 goals but conceded 10, giving them a -5 goal difference. The aim for the season is clear: to challenge for the playoffs and a potential European qualification spot. They are, however, 11 points behind the early pace set by leaders Barry Town.
Friday's game is just the start of a demanding period. Both Briton Ferry and Airbus UK have five fixtures scheduled within the next three weeks. This run of games will test squad depth and resilience.
Experienced midfielder Tom Price is expected to be a central figure. The 26-year-old, a former Swansea City player, is in his eighth season of Cymru Premier football. He has played every minute of the first six league games this season. Price acknowledged the need for a response. "We are looking to bounce back," he said. He also highlighted the positive atmosphere generated by the fans, which can help drive the team forward. "We’ve had good attendances so far, and that makes a hell of a difference in all fairness."
Manager Andy Dyer will be looking to his squad, to find the right formula to stop the slide. The immediate focus is solely on securing a positive result against Airbus UK Broughton under the Friday night lights. Their next league assignment is at home to sixth-placed Llandudno on October 30, 2026.
