New to the Cymru Premier

With the new Novira Cymru Premier season around the corner we take a look at the six new clubs joining us next season.

The league has increased from 12 to 16 teams which means we have plenty of new clubs to take on this campaign.

Airbus UK Broughton

Airbus UK are no strangers to the top flight of Welsh football having spent 16 of the previous 20 seasons in the Cymru Premier.

The Wingmen last played in the top flight in 22/23 but finished 12th and were immediately relegated back down to the Cymru North. After three seasons away Airbus secured their return to the new look Cymru Premier after finishing 2nd in the Cymru North.

Mark Allen has been in charge of The Wingmen since 2023 and has gone on to manage 115 matches, winning 89 and losing just 15. The 49-year-old has been involved with Airbus for nine years having previously started out as a coach in 2017.

Town’s first meeting of 26/27 with The Wingmen will take place at Jenner Park Stadium on Friday 28th August kicking off at 19:45.

Steve Jenkins’ Town will then make the trip North on Friday 5th February with kick off again scheduled for 19:45.

The Flintshire based club play their home games at the Hollingsworth Group Stadium (The Airfield) which holds 1,600 fans. The journey from Jenner Park Stadium will take just over three hours and Town fans will cover 164 miles making the journey.

Ammanford AFC

Ammanford secured promotion to the Cymru Premier last season by finishing 3rd and securing the final promotion spot. The Town pipped Caerau Ely to 3rd spot by finish just three points ahead of the Young Guns. Ammanford won 17 of their 30 matches in the Cymru South last term..

Last seasons promotion was a historic one for Town as the club is now gearing towards their first ever season in the top flight of Welsh football. Ammanford secured their spot in the Cymru Premier on the final day with a dramatic comeback win at Cwmbran Celtic.

Despite the club being new to the Cymru Premier it’s a completely different story for manager Wyn Thomas. Thomas made 447 appearances in the top flight scoring 58 goals. The now Ammanford boss represented the likes of Swansea Uni, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest County, Camarthen and Llanelli. The 47-year-old took charge of Ammanford in August 2024 and has so far gone on to manage 64 matches recording an impressive 30 wins and a promotion.

Our first clash with the newcomers will be at Jenner Park on Tuesday 15th September with kicking off at 19:45. We then make the trip west along the M4 in the festive period with us heading to Ammanford on December 18th. Ammanford play their home matches at The Recreation Ground which holds up to 2,000 fans on match days.

The journey from Camarthenshire from Jenner Park will take approximately an hour and 10 minutes with the journey along the M4.

Cambrian United

The Cam Army finished 2nd in the Cymru South last campaign finishing on 76 points. Cambrian won 24 out of their 30 matches last term. Town last played United back in December in the semi finals of the Nathaniel MG Cup Town came out on top that day with a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Will Richards, Ollie Hulbert and Ben Margetson.

We of course went on to lift the MG Cup last season with Ieuan Owen bagging a brace as we defeated The New Saints at DragonBet Stadium.

Liam Williams has been in charge of The Cam Army since July 2024 and has managed the club on 75 occasions. The 35-year-old has won 46 matches and has now secured an historic promotion too.

Cambrian are our first opponents of the 26/27 season with the newcomers making the trip to Jenner Park on Friday 31st July. We then return to the venue of our Nathaniel MG Cup semi final win in November with our second meeting against the Cam Army due to take place on Friday 6th November.

The Cymru Premier debutants play their home games in Clydach at M&P Group 3G. The journey from Jenner Park is a short one with it taking just 45 minutes by car to get to the home of The Cam Army.Town fans will cover around 20 miles during the trip up the A470.

Holywell Town

Holywell Town earned promotion last campaign after finishing in the top three of the Cymru North.

The Wellmen will return to the top flight of Welsh football this coming season for the first time in 27 years. The Flintshire based club won 18 of their 30 games last campaign and finished 12 points clear of fourth placed Newtown to secure their return to the Cymru Premier. Hollywell did win the Cymru North title in 23/24 but the club failed to secure a tier one license and remained in the second tier. The Wellmen held a spot in the top three ever since gameweek three last season.

Johnny Haseldin has been in charge of Holywell since 2012 and has gone on to manage over 170 matches so far. The 44-year-old has won 117 matches during his time at Bartons North Wales Stadium.

Town make the trip to Flintshire early on in the season with our first clash with The Wellmen set for Friday 21st August. The return fixture at Jenner Park is set for Friday 12th February.

Both games are set to kick off at 19:45.

Llandudno

Llandudno were last season Cymru North champions and are the penultimate new team we look at ahead of our season opener next Friday.

The Seasiders won 26 of their 30 matches and just lost twice in the league all season last term. The reigning Cymru North champions are back in the Cymru Premier for the first time in seven years. Llandudno clinched the title with a 4-1 win over Guilsfield on Easter Monday.

The Seasiders were led to the title by the youngest manager in the Cymru League with Jordan Hadaway who is just 24-years-old. Hadaway has been in charge since 2023 and has so far gone on to manage 111 matches. Out of those 111 Llandudno have won 63.

Town’s first meeting with The Seasiders in 26/27 comes in September. Hadaway’s men visit Jenner Park on the 11th September.

Town then make the trip North later in the year with our clash at Go Goodwins stadium set for Friday 20th November.
