Briton Ferry Llansawel A.F.C. is a football club based in Briton Ferry in Wales, currently playing in the Welsh Football League Division Three. The club was formed in 2009 after the merger between Britton Ferry Athletic and Llansawel .
The club's crest uses the colours green, red and yellow, which represent the colours of the two merged teams. For 2009-10 the home colours will be the traditional Briton Ferry quartered red and green shirt, green shorts and red socks. The away colours will be the traditional Llansawel yellow shirt, black shorts and hooped yellow and black socks.[3]
During September 2008 representatives of Briton Ferry Athletic and Llansawel entered into discussion about the possibility of merging the two clubs. After a lengthy period of consideration, it was announced on April 28, 2009 that the two clubs had merged to form Briton Ferry Llansawel.
They will play their first season in Welsh Football League Third Division, replacing Briton Ferry Athletic. South Gower replaced Llansawel after they applied for membership to the league.[4]
