campaign. They are led by the team of
President Paul McKinlay and Chairman
Michael Mayfield and will be looking to
progress under their guidance.
It would be fair to say that the club
endured a disappointing season this time
around as their first team were relegated
into the Cymru Alliance. They finished
with a league record of five wins, six
draws and twenty one defeats from their
thirty two matches leaving them bottom
of the league with twenty one points.
The club will now now be looking to
pick themselves up as quickly as possible
and will be working hard to make sure
they are able to do just that. As long as
they have a positive off-season and are
able to add to the talent of the squad they
should be well positioned to do so.
Airbus UK Broughton is clearly
determined to turn things around and
this was highlighted by Chairman Mick
Mayfield when he spoke to the club’s
official website www.airbusfc.com about
their future in the Cymru Alliance,
stating that, “We are under no illusions
of how difficult that challenge will be.
There are some very strong sides in the
league, and if we are to make a serious
challenge this coming season, we cannot
afford to be complacent and will have
to improve significantly on last season’s
performance.”
“We will miss the challenge of the
Welsh Premier, but will be doing our
utmost to get back as soon as possible.
“I would like to take this opportunity
to thank our loyal sponsors and supporters
for sticking with us for what was a really
hard season, that we never saw coming,
and look forward to working with and
cheering with you all again in the future.”
One of the highlights of the Airbus UK
Broughton set up is the superb academy
set up that they have in place. This part
of the club looks to provide young players
from the local area with an opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them to reach
their full potential.
It is important for any club looking to
be successful over a sustained period of

time to be able to produce their own talent
and this is an area they appear to have
covered. It will certainly be exciting to see
how their youngsters are able to progress
in the coming years as they look to make
the step up to senior football.
Obviously it is a difficult time for the
club having suffered relegation but they
are wasting no time in trying to address
the difficulties that they have faced
recently and this will give them the best
possible chance of bouncing back quickly.
A difficult campaign should not take away
from the good work being carried out at
the club and with a strong academy in
place they should be able to look forwards
to a successful long term future.
