Match Preview – TNS

Barry Town United make the trip to Oswestry on Saturday afternoon to take on league leaders The New Saints.

Town and Saints have already met once this season with the first meeting ending as a 0–0 draw at Jenner Park at the end of August.

The Saints have seven wins from the opening 10 matches and currently hold a one point lead over second place Penybont.

Town sit in 5th on 14 points following Saturday’s 0–0 draw with Connah’s Quay Nomads at Jenner Park.

Craig Harrison has been in charge of The Saints since August 2022 in what is his second spell at the club following a spell between 2014–17.

During both spells Harrison has won six JD Cymru Premier titles and will no doubt have his eyes on a seventh this time around.

During the five years away from Park Hall Harrison had stints at Hartlepool United, Bangor City and Connah’s Quay Nomads.

Harrison has so far taken charge of 165 matches in his second stint and has picked up 125 wins and have lost just 26 matches.

This will be Town’s first trip to Park Hall since September 2024 where the Saints ran out 4–0 winners, Town will be hoping for an improvement this time around.

Kick off is at 14:30 on Saturday, we hope to see as many of you in Oswestry as possible!
