Airbus UK Broughton secured a deserved 2–0 victory over Briton Ferry Llansawel

Airbus started brightly and created the first opportunity inside two minutes. George Peers picked the ball up from a throw-in, beat his defender and fired towards goal, but his effort sailed over the bar.

Four minutes later, Airbus came close again. Tyler McManus won possession and headed the ball into the path of Jordan Evans, who spotted the run of Kaiden Cooke. Cooke helped the ball on to Peers, whose effort was saved by Will Fuller with his feet.

The hosts continued to threaten and were rewarded in the 20th minute. The ball was worked well to Jordan Evans from George Peers, whose ball back into the box found Peers, who had continued his run, in the right place to tap home and give Airbus the lead.

Airbus continued to look dangerous. Cooke produced a great run down the left in the 24th minute before finding Peers with a square pass on the edge of the area, but the No.11 couldn't quite get the ball under control.

Corey Hurford tried his luck from distance two minutes later, although his effort was always rising over the bar.

Briton Ferry threatened at the other end, but Josh Stevenson produced a great block to deny Mitchel Bates in the 28th minute.

Airbus almost doubled their advantage shortly afterwards. Oli Calland collected the ball and drove towards the Briton Ferry goal before unleashing a shot from the edge of the box which appeared destined for the bottom corner, only for Fuller to produce an excellent save to deny the Airbus No.18.

Jordan Evans came close from a set piece in the 33rd minute after a free kick was awarded for a foul on Cooke. His delivery was just over the bar.

The visitors continued to test the Airbus defence, with a free kick from the right causing a scramble inside the box as Thomas Walters got some connection Louie Fallon collected the ball.

Joe Palmer then found himself in a promising position but could only fire over the bar, while Hurford's effort in first-half stoppage time went narrowly wide of the post.

Airbus came out strongly after the break and doubled their advantage just three minutes into the second half. From a Briton Ferry corner, Calland found Peers on the counter and Peers did well to hold the ball up and play into Calland’s feet. The Airbus midfielder's shot took a slight deflection, taking it beyond Fuller and into the net.

Briton Ferry looked for a way back into the game, with a corner headed clear by Brandon Diau in the 54th minute before the follow-up effort was collected by Fallon.

A minute later, Fallon produced a brilliant low save to his right from a great strike from Bates from the left of the area.

Airbus were inches away from adding a third in the 57th minute. Cooke delivered a dangerous ball into the box and Jake Roberts got a touch on the cross, but somehow the ball stayed out.

Fallon was called into action again in the 63rd minute, punching a corner from the right clear.

Airbus continued to look threatening, with Peers and Evans combining brilliantly in the 68th minute. Peers' cross was directed towards goal but sailed over the bar.

The Wingmakers made their first changes in the 69th minute, with Jordan Evans and Jake Roberts replaced by Jack Parry and Mason Blackwell-Jones.

McManus then produced some excellent defending in the 76th minute, allowing Fallon to come out and collect the ball.

Oli Calland's afternoon came to an end in the 79th minute as Sean Moscrop was introduced.

Airbus made their final change with three minutes remaining, as George Peers was replaced by Sam Rickett.

There were no further goals as Airbus comfortably saw out the closing stages to secure an impressive 2-0 victory.
