Then on Saturday afternoon Town visit Briton Ferry Athletic, who like previous opponents Llanelli were promoted back into Welsh League Division One last season. Ray Pennock, brother of Tony, is Assistant Manager at Old Road and local boy Steve Cann, who kept goal for Aber for a number of seasons, as well as Carmarthen and Port Talbot Town, now plays for his hometown club. Athletic play at Old Road, Briton Ferry and their postcode there is SA11 2HA.
The Squad will be staying in Swansea between the two games and the weekend will give the Players the opportunity to bond and create the team spirit which Manager Neville Powell has identified as a must have prior to Aber's Welsh Premier League kick off back in South Wales, at Barry Town on Sunday 13th August.
