Match Preview: Briton Ferry Llansawel vs Barry Town United

Barry Town United are back on the road this Bank Holiday Monday as Steve Jenkins’ side travel to Briton Ferry Llansawel looking to make it six wins from six in the Novira Cymru Premier and end August at the top of the table.

The Town head into Matchday Six with a 100% league record, having taken maximum points from their opening five fixtures of the 2026/27 campaign.

Barry opened the season with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Cambrian United at Jenner Park, with Daniel Smith netting a late winner, before coming from behind to claim all three points in a thrilling 3-2 victory away at Flint Town United.

The Town then made it three wins from three with a 1-0 victory over Cardiff Met at Jenner Park before travelling to north Wales to face Holywell Town. Despite falling 1-0 behind, Barry responded strongly to secure a 3-1 victory and maintain their perfect start.
