Barry Town United’s pre-season campaign continues as The Town host Trethomas Bluebirds at Jenner Park on Tuesday evening.
The Town are looking to continue their good pre-season form after wins in the last three friendlies. With the opening day of the Novira Cymru Premier season looming, The Town will look to once again impress in front of the Jenner Park faithful.
The Town have so far beaten Goytre United 1-2, Goytre FC 3-1 and Yate Town AFC 0-1, Steve Jenkins’ men will look to make it 4 from 4 on a warm summer’s night in Barry.
New Signings
So far this summer, Barry Town have made five new signings who will all be looking to impress and gel with the squad over the next few weeks before the new season kicks off on July 31st.
All five of the new summer signings have already made their debuts for the club, with Sion Spence and Elliott Dugan already getting on the scoresheet in the first two friendlies. Dugan who has featured in and around the Cymru Premier with Haverfordwest and Connah’s Quay Nomads, will look to bring his goal-scoring prowess to Jenner Park this season.
Spence, who arrived after leaving Gloucester City, is a familiar face around Barry, with a loan spell back in 2019. Sion has featured for Bristol Rovers, Crystal Palace Under 23’s and Havant & Waterlooville before returning to Jenner Park on a permanent deal.
Jack Shaw joined the club after spells at Trethomas Bluebirds, Llantwit Major and Penybont. The midfielder has received some high praise from fans of his former clubs and will look to break into the side with the new season around the corner.
Jaydn Crosbie was our fourth signing of the summer, joining the club after leaving Dorchester Town. The 22-year-old will bolster the attacking presence for Barry Town over the next few weeks and over the new season.
Our latest signing is Trinidad & Tobago international James Lester. The young defender joined the club after leaving Llanelli Town. James will be looking to contribute towards the backline this season.
The Opposition
Last season, Trethomas Bluebirds finished 13th in the Cymru South with a total of 29 points. The Bluebirds will be aiming to improve on last season’s standings and potentially reach the Novira Cymru Premier in the near future.
Over the past few seasons, Trethomas Bluebirds have finished as runners-up in the 24/25 Cymru South season, won the FAW Amateur Trophy in the 22/23 season, and won the Ardal Southern Cup in the 21/22 season.
Former Cardiff City striker Michael Chopra recently came out of retirement to join The Bluebirds, who will hope to add his historic attacking prowess to the side.
