🔴 ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND FOR THE REDS! 🔴

What a fantastic result for our Ferry Llansawel AFC Women’s team yesterday, recording a fine 3-0 away victory against Swansea City Ladies at the Dot Com Stadium! ⚽👏

Combined with Friday night’s cup success for Andy and the boys, it’s been a brilliant weekend for all our Red Brigade supporters. ❤️🖤

🔴 ANOTHER BIG WEEK FOR THE COMMUNITY REDS!

Away from the football, it’s another busy week ahead for the Community Reds. Over the next few days, our attention will turn to updating our display boards and promotional materials in preparation for attending World Stroke Awareness Day in Port Talbot on Friday.

Events like this provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work we do, meet potential new partners, connect with our local community and highlight the opportunities we provide through our outreach programmes.

Our aim remains the same: Creating, Enabling, Empowering Change – Ensuring Nobody Is Left Sitting on the Bench!

🙌 BECOME A COMMUNITY REDS VOLUNTEER – MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Friday night saw over 1,154 supporters attend the game at the Renewable Centre Stadium. As you can imagine, it was another busy night for our fantastic Games Maker volunteers, helping to create a positive matchday experience for everyone attending.

But we need YOU!

We are continuing to recruit volunteers to join our Matchday Games Maker team, or perhaps you would prefer to become involved with our Community Reds Outreach team, supporting the delivery of our various community programmes.

If you want to make a difference, meet new people, develop new skills and give something back to your community, we have an opportunity for you!

❤️ No experience required – just enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to get involved.

🤝 Training and development opportunities provided.

⚽ Opportunities to support matchdays and community outreach programmes.

🌟 The chance to help create positive experiences and make a real difference in people's lives.

🔴 A NEW OPPORTUNITY WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS!

One exciting volunteering and participation opportunity you could become involved in is our new Special Olympics group and programme, being developed in partnership with Special Olympics Wales, Port Talbot Pirates Cricket Club and the Community Reds.

This exciting initiative aims to establish a weekly club evening in Baglan for people with learning disabilities, creating opportunities to participate in sport, develop skills, build friendships and enjoy being part of a team.

It's another fantastic example of our commitment to inclusion, participation and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to get involved.

🔴⚽ INTO THE HAT WE GO!! 🔴⚽

What a busy and exciting night down at the Renewable Centre Stadium last night! A massive well done to Andy and the boys, as a fantastic 5-0 victory sees Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC safely into the next round of the FAW Cup! 🔴👏

On the first crisp, clear evening of the month, the Ferry Boys delivered in style in front of a buoyant and passionate crowd, boosted by fantastic support from our visitors, Afan United.

Led by hat-trick hero and Man of the Match Luke Bowen, the Ferry Boys booked their place in the Third Round in impressive fashion! ⚽⚽⚽

👏 A huge well done to both sets of supporters for creating such a fantastic atmosphere. It was also a special night for our Community Reds Games Makers, who made their debut and helped contribute to the matchday experience. Thank you to everyone involved!

A special mention, too, to the Afan United mascots, who proudly led the teams out onto the pitch and joined in the half-time entertainment. We hope you enjoyed your evening!

❤️ WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PART OF THE MATCHDAY EXPERIENCE?

At Community Reds, we're always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our Games Maker Team and help make matchdays at Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC even more special.

Whether it's welcoming supporters, helping with matchday activities, supporting our entertainment programme or helping create a fantastic atmosphere, there's a role for you!

Or perhaps your junior team would love the opportunity to lead the players out onto the pitch? We welcome enquiries for both our men's and women's fixtures at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

You don't need previous experience — just enthusiasm, a willingness to get involved and a passion for your community!

⚽ TOMORROW, OUR ATTENTION TURNS TO THE WOMEN! ⚽

Tomorrow, it's the turn of our Briton Ferry Llansawel Women, who travel to the Swansea.com Stadium to take on Swansea City Ladies.

Matches between these two sides are always exciting and closely contested affairs, and tomorrow's encounter promises to be another one to savour!

Both teams will be looking to bounce back after defeats in their last outings, with Swansea going down to Wrexham and our Ferry Women losing to current league leaders The New Saints.

If you're making the trip tomorrow, get behind the girls, make some noise and show your support! 🔴👏

Wishing everyone travelling a safe journey. Let's get right behind our women's team!

Have a great weekend, everyone! ❤️⚽🔴

🔴 WHAT'S NOT TO GET EXCITED ABOUT? 🔴

As the excitement builds for this Friday night’s action at the Renewable Centre Stadium, plans are already being put in place for what could be the biggest attendance of the season!

We welcome Afan United, who will be looking to cause a cup upset against their Novira Cymru Premiership opponents. Add in the excitement of a cup tie, a local derby, football under the lights and live television coverage, and what’s not to get excited about? ⚽🔥

But matchday is about more than just the action on the pitch. It’s also about the people, the community and the opportunities that bring us all together.

❤️ This is one of the reasons I got involved volunteering with the Community Reds and its many initiatives.

From delivering our Community Outreach sessions to supporting our matchday activities, there is always something to get involved in, new people to meet and opportunities to make a difference.

Creating. Enabling. Empowering Change.

Ensuring Nobody Is Left Sitting on the Bench.

As the Community Reds continues to grow, with a wide range of initiatives, activities and sessions supporting our local and wider communities, we are now looking for new volunteers to join our team and help us take the next exciting steps forward.

🙌 COULD YOU BE OUR NEXT COMMUNITY REDS VOLUNTEER?

There are opportunities to get involved in a variety of ways, including:

❤️ Supporting our community wellbeing programmes and outreach sessions.

🤝 Helping local community groups enjoy inclusive activities, friendship and new experiences.

⚽ Joining our Games Maker Programme, helping to create memorable matchday experiences for supporters and visitors at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

🌟 Sharing your skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and time to help others feel included and part of something special.

Volunteering with the Community Reds makes a real difference, not only to the community groups we support but also to me personally.

It gives me a sense of purpose, supports my own physical health and mental wellbeing, and allows me to share my skills and experience while working alongside others who want to make a positive difference.

There is something special about being part of a team, knowing that even a little of your time can help somebody feel included, improve their wellbeing, build confidence and enjoy new opportunities.

🔴 NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INVOLVED!

We are recruiting volunteers for the next exciting chapter of the Community Reds, and we need YOU to help us grow!

Whether you can spare a few hours on matchdays, support a community session or offer your skills in another way, your contribution could make a lasting difference.

You don’t need to change the world on your own. Sometimes, changing one person’s day is a great place to start.

📩 Want to find out more?

🔹 Take a look at the volunteer recruitment posters below.

.🔴 COMMUNITY REDS – OUTREACH, INCLUSION & COMMUNITY SPIRIT! 🔴

It's been another busy few days for our Community Reds Outreach Volunteer, delivering activities with two of our valued Community Reds Partners! ❤️

This week, we visited Age Connect Neath Port Talbot in Margam and Me Myself & I in Seven Sisters, bringing people together through physical activity, friendly competition and, most importantly, social interaction.

🥇 MINI OLYMPICS – MARGAM

Tuesday saw members of the Neath and Margam Age Connect groups come together to compete in the latest round of our Community Reds Mini Olympics!

Teams representing Neath and Margam went head-to-head, while the remaining members of the Margam group formed the aptly named Margam Misfits team.

And it was the Margam Misfits who came out on top, taking home the 🥇 Gold medals! Margam secured 🥈 Silver, with Neath claiming 🥉 Bronze.

Congratulations to everyone who took part! 👏

Of course, it wasn't just about the medals. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic morning of friendly competition, conversation and laughter. The homemade refreshments were also greatly appreciated as participants took the opportunity to relax, chat and socialise with friends old and new.

🔵 BOCCIA FUN – SEVEN SISTERS

Today, we headed up to Seven Sisters to spend the afternoon with our friends at Me Myself & I.

The group enjoyed another lively Boccia session, with plenty of competitive spirit and several closely fought matches along the way!

After some excellent play from both sides, it was the Blue Team who emerged as the overall winners. Well done to everyone who took part! 👏

❤️ WHY OUR OUTREACH PROGRAMME MATTERS

Our Community Reds Outreach Programme works alongside our valued community partners to give adults aged 50+ opportunities to participate in regular physical and social activities within their local communities.

For over three years, we have been delivering a range of inclusive activities designed to help people improve their physical, mental and social wellbeing.

Each session incorporates three key elements:

⚽ Physical activity – including strength, mobilisation, balance and coordination exercises.

🏆 Inclusive activities – adapted games and challenges that encourage participation, build confidence and bring people together.

☕ Friendship and social interaction – providing time to chat, share experiences and build meaningful connections.

By encouraging people to become more active and connected, we aim to help reduce social isolation, improve wellbeing and create opportunities for everyone to get involved.

Our philosophy remains simple:

“Ensuring Nobody is left sitting on the Bench.”

Because at the Community Reds, it's not just about the activity or the result. It's about participation, friendship, inclusion and the difference we can make together.

🔴 NEXT UP – FAW CUP ACTION UNDER THE LIGHTS!

Our attention now turns to Friday night, when Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC host Afan United in the Second Round of the FAW Cup at the Renewable Centre Stadium, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

🍻 Bar Red opens at 5.45pm, with Happy Hour to get the evening underway!

📺 With the match being shown live on TV, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our club, our supporters and our community to a wider audience.

Let's make it a memorable night under the lights! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring the noise and help create a packed, bouncing Renewable Centre Stadium.

This is your club. This is your community. This is your opportunity to be part of the matchday experience!

🔴 One Club – One Team – One Community.
❤️ Create. Enable. Empower. Change.

🔴 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.

🔴 MATCHDAYS ARE SPECIAL — ESPECIALLY UNDER THE LIGHTS!

🔴 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.
