Tref Aberystwyth Town v Briton Ferry Llansawel
 
Bydd Tref Aber yn gwynebu bechgyn newydd y Cymru Prem Briton Ferry Llansawel yng ngem gyfeillgar heno yn Stadiwm Prifysgol Aberystwyth.
 
Aberystwyth Town face the new boys of the Cymru Premier, Briton Ferry Llansawl in tonight’s pre-season friendly at Aberystwyth University Park Avenue.
 
Briton Ferry Llansawel are due to start next season in the top flight after winning the JD Cymru South last time around; finishing 7 points ahead of Saturday’s opposition Llanelli Town, who proved to be a good test for Anthony Williams’ men and left Ceredigion with a 1-0 victory.
 
Formed in 2009 through the amalgamation of Briton Ferry Athletic and Llansawel FC, this will be the merged clubs first season in the Cymru Premier. However, Briton Ferry Athletic were founder members of the League of Wales in 1992 and spent a total of four seasons in the top tier, over two spells.
 
There will be some familiar faces in the opposition line up; none more so than former Aber fan favourite Luke Bowen. Signed in 2009, Luke spent a year at Park Avenue and finished the season as top scorer as the Black and Greens narrowly missed out on a European place.
 
Goalkeeper Alex Pennock came through the ranks at Park Avenue making a number of first team appearances, whilst BFL Assistant Manager Chris Llewellyn had a brief spell in Black and Green in 2012.
 
This will be the third home pre-season friendly in a row, but this will be followed by a trip to Southern League outfit Cinderford Town on Saturday as Anthony Williams’ finalises his squad ahead of the first league match on 9th August.
 
Season ticket will be on sale at the ground on Saturday at the bargain price of £80 for Adults and £50 for Over 65s.
 
Admission prices for tonight’s friendly at Aberystwyth University Park Avenue will be £5 for adults and £3 for concessions, and £1 for Secondary School Age kids. Preparation for the 2024/25 season continues.
