Barry Town United make the long journey to north Wales on Friday evening as Steve Jenkins’ side take on newly promoted Holywell Town at Barton’s North Wales Stadium.
The Town head into Matchday Four with a 100% record in the Novira Cymru Premier and will be looking to make it four wins from four under the lights.
Barry opened the campaign with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Cambrian United at Jenner Park before coming from behind to claim all three points in a thrilling 3-2 win away at Flint Town United.
Last weekend, The Town continued their impressive start with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cardiff Met at Jenner Park, making it nine points from a possible nine.
Attention now turns to another trip north as Barry look to keep their perfect start going against a Holywell side searching for their first points of the campaign.

Nickname: The Wellmen
Founded: 1880
Manager: Johnny Haseldin
Distance from Jenner Park: 169 miles (Google Maps)
Holywell Town are back amongst the elite of Welsh domestic football, competing in the Cymru Premier for the first time in 27 years.
The Wellmen earned promotion following an impressive 2025/26 campaign in the Cymru North, finishing third with 60 points to secure their place in the expanded Novira Cymru Premier.
Life back in the top flight has proven difficult so far, with Johnny Haseldin’s side still searching for their first points of the new season.
Holywell began their campaign with a tough trip to Cardiff Met, where they suffered a 6-1 defeat against The Archers. Their first home fixture of the season followed against Connah’s Quay Nomads, with the visitors leaving with a 3-1 victory.
Most recently, The Wellmen travelled to Llandudno, where they were again beaten 3-1.
There was, however, a piece of history for Mark Winslade, who found the back of the net for Holywell. His goal saw him become the first player to score for The Wellmen across tiers one, two and three of Welsh football.
With Holywell eager to get their first points on the board and Barry looking to extend their winning start, an intriguing Friday night encounter awaits in north Wales.
