The New Saints and Briton Ferry Llansawel reach Bute Energy U16s Cup Final

The New Saints and Briton Ferry Llansawel will compete in the 2026 Bute Energy U16s Cup Final.

The New Saints booked their place in the Final with a convincing 7-0 win over Barry Town United at Jenner Park on Sunday afternoon.

Following a cagey opening spell, the Saints took firm control of the tie with five goals in a blistering final 13 minutes of the first half. Erin Barton and Evie Wigley both scored twice, before Lilly Garrett added her name to the scoresheet.

Garrett made it a brace for herself early in the second period, while Ella Breese rounded off the scoring late on as the Saints reached the final in impressive fashion.

It follows a pair of 8-0 away wins for TNS against NFA and Rhyl 1879 in the Bute Energy U16s Cup this season, and sees them banish the memories of last year’s Semi-Final defeat against eventual cup winners Pontypridd United.

Swansea City and Briton Ferry Llansawel were scheduled to meet in Sunday’s other Semi-Final, but with the Swans unable to field a team they forfeited their place in the competition – sending Ferry straight through to the Final.

The New Saints and Briton Ferry Llansawel will meet in the Bute Energy U16s Cup Final on Sunday 3 May, with a neutral venue to be confirmed in due course.
