Our SLO Steve Davies has put together a very handy guide to our game vs TNS:

Barry Town are back in action on bank holiday Monday making the short trip to the capital to take on Cardiff Met at Cyncoed Campus.

Monday afternoon’s opposition have drawn all 3 league games so far drawing with Caernarfon Town, Briton Ferry Llansawal and Haverfordwest County.

Town suffered late heartbreak on Friday night falling to a 3–2 defeat at home to Penybont in what was Towns first defeat of the campaign. Town have 4 points from the first 3 fixtures and will be looking to build on that on Bank Holiday.

Manager Ryan Jenkins is in to his second spell as Met manager. Jenkins who rejoined the club in July 2023 and has so far managed 85 matches, winning 34. Jenkins first took on the role in July 2022 where he managed the club on 27 occasions before stepping back in January 2023.

Met and Town are no strangers to each other and have met regularly over the years. The clubs have met 17 times in the JD Cymru Premier with Town edging the head to head record with 7 wins to Met’s 6. There has also been 4 draws between the sides.

Town were unbeaten against Monday’s opponents last season drawing 1–1 at Cyncoed and winning 2–1 at Jenner!

Kick off is at 14:30 on Monday and we hope to see as many of you at Cyncoed as possible!

Barry Town United Teams Up with Llamau to Tackle Youth Homelessness in Wales

Barry Town United AFC is proud to announce a powerful new partnership with Llamau, a charity working throughout Wales supporting young people and women experiencing homelessness. This landmark collaboration will use the platform of football to drive meaningful social change — and invites commercial partners to join the mission.

Under the banner “Football for Change,” Barry Town United and Llamau will deliver a series of high-impact community campaigns throughout the 2025–26 season. From fundraising walks to match day activations, the partnership will raise vital awareness and funding to help young people at risk of homelessness build brighter futures.

“This partnership goes far beyond football,” said Ollie Waterhouse, Commercial Manager at Barry Town United. “It’s about giving young people a second chance, and using the power of our club to open doors. We’re inviting sponsors and local businesses to stand with us and with Llamau to create real, measurable change in our community.” 

Barbara Redmore, Corporate Partnership Manager for Llamau said “  “We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with Barry Town. It’s a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and vital funds for our work, and we’re so excited to stand alongside a club that shares our commitment to supporting people in our communities. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”

Llamau – What We Do.

At Llamau we believe that no-one should ever have to experience homelessness. But for thousands of people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality. 

Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation – a safe place to stay. 

Llamau knows that ending homelessness is not as simple as putting a roof over someone’s head. Our preventative services help the young people and women we support to build the confidence and skills required to break the cycle of homelessness and move forward into independent lives.

Keep an eye on our exciting campaigns, starting with The Long Walk Home!

A circular walk incorporating Jenner Park and the Barry coastline begins at Jenner Park, heading towards Barry Island, we will follow the Coast Path around the island, and then return to Jenner Park via the town. 

Start at Jenner Park

We’ll kick things off where it all begins – Jenner Park Stadium. It’s more than just a ground, it’s a meeting place for our town and our supporters.

---

From the Ground to the Island

From Jenner Park we’ll head through Holton Road and make our way down towards Barry Island. Just like heading to an away day, the walk is about moving together with a bit of buzz and banter along the way, stopping off and taking lots of photos!

---

Onto the Coast Path

Once we hit the Island, we’ll join the Wales Coast Path. It loops around the northern side of the Island and gives us some cracking views – a proper reminder of how special Barry Town is.

---

Walking the Island

From Jackson’s Bay to the harbour arm and the Dock Lighthouse, we’ll follow the path right around Barry Island. It’s a chance to take in the sights and enjoy some fresh sea air.

---

Back to Jenner Park

We’ll finish the loop back where we started – at Jenner Park. Just like a matchday, everything comes back to the ground and the community around it, right in time for kick-off

---

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a walk. It’s about Barry Town United standing shoulder to shoulder with Llamau, raising awareness and showing support for those in our community who need it most. Every step we take together helps shine a light on that message.

Colwyn Bay come into this on the back of a 1–1 draw against Connah’s Quay Nomads on opening weekend. Town kicked off the new season with a 2–0 win at Llanelli last Friday and will be looking to put more points on the board this weekend.

Michael Wilde was appointed as manager of Saturday’s visitors in May 2024 following the clubs relegation from the JD Cymru Premier and after 39 games under Wilde’s leadership Colwyn Bay find themselves back in the top tier. Wilde who retired from playing in 2024 made 484 appearances in the Cymru Premier for the likes of Connah’s Quay Nomads, The New Saints and Flint Town United, The Seagulls boss who played as a centre forward during his playing days went on to net on 306 occasions.

Colwyn Bay have had a busy summer following promotion with 15 new players arriving at Blue Turtle Arena including Louis Robles, Matty Hill and Aaron Edwards. Tom Weir, Cai Owen and Guto Williams are all amongst the 10 to depart the club this summer.

Our last meeting with Colwyn Bay came in April 2024 where Town suffered a 1–0 defeat in North Wales. Town’s last victory over Saturday’s opposition came in October 2023 with a Kayne McLaggon goal securing a 1–0 win victory for Town away at Colwyn Bay.

Barry Town produced a spirited second-half comeback to secure a thrilling 3–2 victory away at Llanelli on Saturday.

The match came just a week after the heartbreak of a 97th-minute defeat to Haverfordwest, and the challenge for the squad was to lift themselves mentally and physically. However, optimism was high following a strong midweek performance in a friendly against Weston-super-Mare, and the team travelled west full of confidence.

Barry got off to a dream start when Harry Sturgess opened the scoring with a superb strike. But after taking the lead, the visitors eased off, allowing Llanelli back into the game. The hosts levelled through a well-taken free kick before striking again on the counterattack, sending Barry into the break 2–1 down despite much of the play going against the run of events.

Managerial changes at half-time proved decisive. Joe Case was introduced into the game and immediately transformed the game, helping Barry dominate possession and pin Llanelli deep in their own half. Case’s influence soon paid off as he netted twice, turning the match on its head and giving Barry a 3–2 advantage.

In the dying moments, goalkeeper Luke made a stunning save to preserve the lead, ensuring Barry left with all three points.

Case’s game-changing display earned him the Man of the Match award, highlighting the impact of an inspired substitution.

Barry now turn their attention to Wednesday night’s clash against Merthyr Town, aiming to build on this hard-fought victory and keep their momentum rolling

Our Supporter Liaison Officer Steve Davies has put together a handy guide for fans wishing to travel to Stebonheath Park on Friday:

Barry Town United return to competitive action Saturday with Aberystwyth making the trip to Jenner Park Stadium in the Nathaniel MG Cup second round.

Town’s last meeting with Aberystwyth came in March with Town running out 2–1 winners at Jenner Park. The visitors kicked off their Cyrmu South campaign last weekend and secured a 2–1 win against Llantwit Major.

Callum McKenzie replaced outgoing manager Antonio Corbiseiro in the summer. The 43 year old Welshman has previously managed Newton where he took charge of 14 games between November 2024 and April 2025.

Aberystwyth have had a busy summer with 16 players leaving the club and 17 arriving as the club look to bounce back to the Cymru Premier at the first time of asking.

Saturday’s visitors made it all the way to final of this competition last season but eventually lost 1–0 to TNS at the final hurdle. Town reached the semi final of this competition last season but just like Aberystwyth lost out to TNS.

Kick off is at 14:30 at Jenner Park Stadium on Saturday!
