A fantastic brace from Ieuan Owen saw Town get their hands on the Nathaniel MG Cup for the first time since 2000.
Town went in to the game as “underdogs” from the outside world but within the club everyone had belief this could be the year.
Town reached Saturday’s final in Bridgend after defeating Llanelli, Haverfordwest County and Cambrian United along the way.
The buildup to the game was overshadowed by events off the pitch with the passing of Callum Sainty’s father and Eliot Richards cancer diagnosis.
Back in October chairman Mark Barrett told the group he had been diagnosed with cancer in what was an extremely brave move.
These off field events made an already together team more together and added extra determination to make Saturday a memorable one after a tough few months.
From minute one of the match you could tell every man in Barry yellow and blue believed something special could happen.
Town started the much better side and put the TNS backline under pressure early doors.
From pre game to post match the travelling fans were immense and the positive start by Town just fired them up even more.
On the stroke of half time Ieuan pounced on a mix up at the back from TNS and gave Town a deserved lead heading in to the break.
The Saints somewhat improved in the second 45 but despite getting in a few good positions they just couldn’t take any of their chances and you stated to feel this could be Town’s day.
Joe Thomas has played in every MG Cup match this season and played his part in keeping Town keeping a clean sheet when eventually called upon.
As the match went on the belief that something special could be on the cards grew and in stoppage time at the end of the match Ieuan Owen secured it once and for all.
Again pouncing on a mistake at the back for TNS, Ieuan was there to find the net from long range to send every Barry fan into raptures.
So that was it, history was made a first MG Cup success since 2000 and Town were able to avenge TNS for the 2017 final.
A win that will be remembered by everyone but more importantly a massive win for the club and community after recent months.
