Match Preview: Bala Town vs Briton Ferry Llansawel



After 133 days, the Lakesiders return home to Maes Tegid!


Our first home game of the season leads us to welcoming newly promoted Briton Ferry Llansawel to Maes Tegid, with both sides aiming to collect their first three points of the season.


The Town started the league season with a 1-1 draw away to Barry Town, after George Newell's penalty secured a point after going behind in the first half courtesy of a Ollie Hulbert strike.


Briton Ferry were less fortunate in their opening league fixture against Penybont, having succumbed to two first half goals from Cardiff City loanee James Crole and would ultimately be defeated 2-0.

Danger Man

Luke Bowen: The 36 year old registered 29 goals in 28 games in a promotion gaining season for Briton Ferry last season, and with Cymru Premier experience already under his belt he will be no stranger to the league. The Welshman would record an even better goal-to-game ratio in the 22/23 season, scoring 27 goals in 25 league appearances in the JD Cymru South. The Forward will be looking to get in-amongst the goals this evening after drawing a blank in their first league game of the season against Penybont.
