For the first action of the 2026/27 season, following the cancellation of the game at Abercrave, Neath will take a young side to the Old Parish to play Maesteg on Saturday, August 8 (kick off 2.30pm).

After some lean years, Maesteg have fought back and won Division 4 West Central last season so will compete in Division 3 this season along with Neath area sides like Resolven, Seven Sisters, Tonmawr and Tonna.
