Having been promoted to the Cymru Premier last season, Briton Ferry moved out of the league’s relegation zone following an unexpected 3-1 victory against the current champions, The New Saints. Jasper Payne opened the scoring for the home team at Old Road just eight minutes into the match. Further goals from Ellis Sage and Tyler Brock established Briton Ferry’s dominant position. Aramide Oteh scored for Craig Harrison’s team shortly before the interval. However, The New Saints could not mount a recovery in the second half, resulting in their fourth league loss of the current season. The Saints maintain their second-place standing in the table, trailing leaders Penybont by four points. Nevertheless, they possess a game in hand against Rhys Griffiths’ team, whom they are scheduled to play at Park Hall this Saturday. Briton Ferry’s victory elevates them to 10th position, marking their third league success of the campaign.
