Briton Ferry Llansawel's upcoming fixtures against Haverfordwest County and Trefelin have been selected for live television coverage on S4C. The Welsh Football Association's website, faw.cymru, confirmed the broadcaster's latest Novira Cymru Premier selections this week, highlighting a busy autumn schedule for the league.
The club's first televised match is a trip to Haverfordwest County on Friday, 11 September, with a 19:45 kick-off. Their second appearance comes on Boxing Day, Saturday 26 December, with a 12:45 start away at Trefelin. Both games will be available to watch on S4C Clic, BBC iPlayer, and YouTube. This exposure arrives as the team sits 8th in the Premier League table with 7 points from four matches, having scored four goals and conceded three.
Which other key matches are being shown?
The broadcast schedule is packed with significant fixtures from late August through the New Year. The August Bank Holiday weekend features a north Wales derby between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno on Monday 31 August at 17:15 on S4C, following an earlier BBC broadcast of Caernarfon Town hosting The New Saints. September kicks off with a double-header on the 5th, including Penybont against Colwyn Bay on BBC and a marquee evening game on S4C between last season's top two, The New Saints and Connah's Quay Nomads.
Further selections include a Friday night clash between Ammanford and Penybont on 18 September, and a Halloween showdown between The New Saints and Connah's Quay Nomads on 31 October, which will be shown on both S4C and online. The final month of the year brings three more broadcasts, culminating in a New Year's Day north Wales derby between Colwyn Bay and Caernarfon Town on S4C.
