History

After Briton Ferry and Llansawel Football Clubs merged to form Briton Ferry Llansawel AFC in 2009, the ladies team was later set up and began playing in the South Wales regional leagues, finishing in the top three in the 2013-14 season.[3]. They played their first season in the Women's Welsh Premier League in 2016, however they finished bottom of the league after the 18 game season and were relegated back to the second tier.[4]. After winning the Welsh Women's League in the 2017-18 season[5] to gain promotion back to the Premier League with a last day of the season win away to Barry Town, Briton Ferry Llansawel have since played their football in the top tier.
