Barry Town were in unstoppable form with a 6-1 victory over Aberystwyth Town, but it's success in Europe that the Dragons really, really want.
Player/coach Gary Barnett declared: "Everything at Jenner Park is geared up to try and do well in Europe again."
"Obviously we talk about it, but we also train hard and prepare for when that day arrives with games like the one against Aberystwyth.
"They played well in the first-half breaking from mid-field, but we have got into the system where players have to adjust to differeny tactics.
"When you have a professional and positive attitude in a squad of players you can adapt to problems on the pitch, as they happen."
Barnett's former club colleague at Leyton Orient Danny Carter took center stage in the victory with a fine hat-trick, striking twice before the break.
Minutes before the interval the home side were reduced to ten men when wing-back Gary Lloyd had the red card waved at him, after getting involved in a flare-up with Hayden Fleming.
Barnett had no complaints: "I know something went on before Lloyd got involved, but if you raise your arm in today's modern game you're in trouble."
The incident only inspired the Dragons further in the second period, when Carter completed his hat-trick and Eifion Williams, Chris Pike and Darren Ryan also got on the scoresheet.
Aberystwyth replied through Ryan Nicholls, but again Barry showed their dominance in this league with their 21st win, slipping up with just two draws.
While they head for a third consecutive title, the seasiders have showed no mercy blasting in 84 (league) goals so far this season.
