Cardiff MET finished their Cymru Premier season in 7th position with 9 points. The university-affiliated club's campaign concluded with a mixed run of results, including a win against Airbus UK and a draw with Ebbsfleet United.
Ryan Jenkins's side scored 16 goals across the season but were unable to climb higher in the final table. Their final placing leaves them looking ahead to the 2026-27 season, where they currently sit 4th in the early standings with 12 points from six matches. That form includes four wins and two losses, with a positive goal difference of nine from 16 goals scored and seven conceded.
The season featured notable victories and challenging defeats. Cardiff MET secured wins against Airbus UK and Holywell Town. They also managed a draw against Ebbsfleet United in a competitive fixture. However, losses to strong sides like The New Saints and Barry Town United highlighted the competitive nature of the league. The team's overall goal tally of 16 showed a productive attack, a foundation manager Ryan Jenkins will aim to build upon.

The head-to-head battles with Briton Ferry Llansawel proved difficult for Cardiff MET this past season. The teams met three times, with Briton Ferry claiming two victories. On 3rd April 2026, Briton Ferry won 3-1, following a 2-0 win on 16th March. The sole positive result in the series was a 2-2 draw on 16th December 2025. Andy Dyer's Briton Ferry side finished 9th with 7 points, scoring just four goals all season, which makes their success in these specific fixtures more pronounced.
Cardiff MET manager Ryan Jenkins acknowledged his team's effort in one of the encounters. "I think we showed great character today," Jenkins said after a match. His counterpart, Andy Dyer, identified areas for improvement, stating, "We need to be more clinical in front of goal."
Looking forward, the current campaign shows promise. Cardiff MET's present league standing of 4th represents a strong start. With 12 points on the board, they are six points behind early leaders Barry Town. This positive opening provides a platform to improve upon last season's 7th-place finish. The team's recent form has been inconsistent, however, with a pattern of wins and losses reflected in a WWLLW sequence.
