It's that time of the year when I let Dewi lose to write today's little post. Whilst I take a few day away to recharge the batteries. So here it is in its full glory.

How Eggscited I am to be able to share my little blog with you all.

Firstly did you know today is World Autism Acceptance day. And a big shout out to everyone connected with the club and the Community Reds who live with this condition.
Lead by our Disability and Inclusion Manager alongside are other Community Reds volunteers. We provide a number of activities designed to be Safe, Inclusive, and Ensure that Nobody is Left sitting on the Bench.

Tomorrow Andy and the boys play their final home game of the season. Knowing Premiership Football will be returning next season to the Renewable Stadium. Which I hope like me your so eggscited about.

We still have chance of the European Playoff Spot but need other results to go for us. But I am sure the boys will be trying to smash their way to have that play off place.

I looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the ground. And joining me and making lots of noise. I must say it was great to hear and see the Red Army. Bring the colour and noise to Haverfordwest last weekend. No yolk from the minute they arrived to well after the game had finished. They sang their hearts out.

Tomorrow it would be great to see everyone joining in and Let's Make Some Noise.. Finally Thankyou to everyone who has been a part of our journey this season And I look forward to sharing and be a part of the next exciting chapter .

Have a great Easter hope the Easter Bunny is kind to you all with lots of EGGS. See you tomorrow

Dewi the Dragon.

A disappointing result yesterday, and I still can’t quite work out how we didn’t come away with at least a draw… but that’s football.

Fair play to Haverfordwest, who now sit in the driving seat for that European Conference play-off spot with two games to go.

I’m sure Andy and the boys will be fighting for every point in the remaining fixtures, starting on Good Friday when we welcome Cardiff Met to the Renewable Centre Stadium (2:30pm kick-off).

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of travelling with the Red Brigade on the supporters’ bus—what a loud and passionate group! They didn’t stop singing all afternoon, in the clubhouse before, during, and after the game. Every player had their own chant, and it was a real pleasure and privilege to be part of it. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day special despite the result.

Best of luck to Rhys and the Briton Ferry Llansawel Ladies, who face a tough challenge away at Barry Town United. They’ll be pushing for three points to finish top of the group before ending the season with a trip to Pontypridd. Safe travels to everyone making the journey to support them.

As I recharge the batteries for another busy and exciting week ahead, we’ll also be launching our Community Reds Supporters Survey at the Cardiff Met game. Please take the time to fill it in and share your thoughts—your feedback is really important as we continue building a warm, safe, and inclusive space for everyone.

Whatever you’re doing this Sunday, enjoy it, stay safe—and remember, here at Briton Ferry Llansawel, we never look down on anyone, only to help them up

New Opportunities, New Horizons

What a busy and productive few days it’s been for the Community Reds team! We’ve been supporting two of our community partners, delivering our Outreach Inclusion Sports Programme
On Monday, we visitedAge Connects NPT Neath Group for a morning of seated hand tennis—full of fun, laughter, and gentle exercise for everyone.
As you may be aware, our motto is: “Create, Enable, Empower Change – Ensuring Nobody is Left Sitting on the Bench.”

On Wednesday, we were invited to attend and deliver a short presentation at the Business in Wales newly formed Cluster Network meeting, held at The Renewable Centre Stadium. It was a fantastic event, giving us the opportunity to network with businesses and organisations, share our journey so far, and explore exciting new opportunities and initiatives as we continue to grow both on and off the field.

Yesterday afternoon, we headed to Seven Sisters to deliver a Health and Wellbeing session for Me, Myself and I Neath Port Talbot. It was another brilliant session filled with enthusiasm, fun, and laughter as we played Clock Cricket. Judging by the noise and feedback in the room, a great time was had by all!

Last night saw our Inclusion Blast Pirates cricket session in partnership with Port Talbot Pirates Cricket Club at St Katherine’s Church Rooms, Baglan. It promises to be an exciting season as we continue developing Special Olympics Neath Port Talbot under our Community Reds Inclusion banner—providing Sporting Opportunities for All.

Working alongside community sports clubs, organisations, groups, and Special Olympics Wales, our Community Reds Special Olympics Programme will provide opportunities and weekly coaching sessions, alongside access to local, regional, national, and international competitions as the programme grows.
Watch this space!

Finally, it’s a big weekend for Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC , with the men’s team, ladies’ team, and are walking football club all in action. Andy and the boys face a top-of-the-table clash for a European Conference Play-Off spot against Haverfordwest, with just three games to go.

It’s been a busy start to the week for the Community Reds Outreach Team!

We kicked things off with a fantastic visit to Age Connect Neath, delivering a fun and inclusive morning session of Sitting Beachball Tennis. With over 45 members taking part, the energy in the room was incredible. Judging by the feedback at the end, it’s safe to say a great time was had by all! We were even joined by a local PCSO, who got involved and added to the enjoyment of the session
After a brilliant morning, it was back to the office to catch up on admin and begin planning ahead for next season’s home fixtures at the Renewable Centre Stadium.

As many of you know, the Community Reds play a vital role within Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC, supporting both the men’s and women’s teams on matchdays. With just one men’s home game remaining—taking place on Good Friday—it’s the perfect time to reflect on this season and explore ways to enhance the matchday experience for all supporters.

In collaboration with the club’s SLO, Disability Access Officer, and Community Reds Manager Stuart Williams, we’ve developed a Fans/Supporters Questionnaire. This will be available at the final home game and shared across social media. Your feedback is incredibly important to us as we aim to make the Renewable Centre Stadium the best matchday experience in the Cymru Premiership. Your voice truly matters—together we can Create, Enable, Empower Change.

A huge congratulations to the women’s section of Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Walking Football Club, who were in league action yesterday in the Cymru Women’s Walking Football League. It was a very successful day—well done to all players and coaches! Next Sunday, it’s the turn of the men’s Over 50s squad. For more information, check out the Walking Football page or get in touch via Martin@communityreds.org.

Finally, this Saturday sees Andy and the boys travel to Haverfordwest for a top-of-the-table clash, with a European play-off spot on the line. Kick-off is at 12:15pm and the match will be broadcast live on TV.

We’re expecting a strong showing from the Red Army—details on how to join the supporters will be shared soon.

The Rainbows are in fourth — still everything to play for!

Finally, best of luck to Martin, who’s away with the Cymru Dragons today as they continue preparations for upcoming internationals and the World Masters Walking Football Cup, hosted by Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC and run by the Community Reds.

Whatever you’re doing today — enjoy it! And hopefully we’ll see you down at the Renewable Centre Stadium this afternoon.

Another Friday is here already—where has the time gone?

We’ve got a packed weekend of football ahead at the Renewable Centre Stadium. Tomorrow, Andy and the boys are looking to secure crucial points as they push to retain our Premiership status for the 26/27 season and keep the pressure on in the race for a European Conference spot. The season may be nearing its end, but there’s still so much to play for—plenty to get excited about!

On Sunday, our women’s team host Aberystwyth Women with a 2pm kick-off. Let’s get down to the stadium, fill the stands, and really get behind the team—let’s Make Some Noise!

Sunday also sees our Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC Walking Football Club women’s section back in league action. The BFL Reds and BFL Rainbows are both pushing hard for the league title, with the Reds currently top of the table alongside Haverfordwest, and the Rainbows close behind.

Meanwhile, the men’s walking football section will be training at Cwrt Herbert as they continue building towards their upcoming season. We’re proud to be entering an Over 50s team into the league—something that reflects the dedication and hard work of our players and coaches. The club continues to grow week by week.
