I chose Giants Graves FC due to be based in a town near Port Talbot, Briton Ferry. This town is in a mouth of River Neath. Giant's Graves is a district within the Briton Ferry West electoral ward. Giant's Graves is the name of a folk song about the docks of Briton Ferry. Besides, it's a feature of the prehistoric site at Parc Cwm long cairn. Briton Ferry is served by the Briton Ferry railway station. Population of Briton Ferry: 7,186.

Thanks mate!

My first match of the season: a friendly against the reserves team. This match served to watch the condition of the squad. There are some players in the reserves team that can be promoted to the first team.

September 2014

Poor performance in first match of the month. Only 16 spectators in the stadium. We played well at home and defeated Sunnybank. Good win away against Pontardawe and we jumped to 2nd position. Striker John Philips scored 6 goals in 6 appearances. We ended the month with a very bad performance, losing to the worst team in the league. Giants Grave dropped to the third position in the league.

In touching distance of the top, what's the promotion situation in the league?

The Neath & District League Premier Division sits at level 5 of the Welsh football pyramid. West Wales FA local leagues are the feeder of Welsh Footbal League Division 3 (level 4). Those local leagues are the Neath & District League Premier Division, Carmathenshire League Premier Division, Pembrokeshire League Division One and Swansea Senior League Division One, with all four champions potentially having to play-off for the one available promotion place. No relegation in the Neath & District League Premier Division.
