GILBERT LEAGUE CUP
Hopefully, you'll all be here again on Tuesday night to see us secure our place in our first (and, hopefully, not our only) cup final of the season. Tuesday's game is against Cwmbran. The other semi-final is between Caernarfon Town and the winner of the Bangor City/Conwy United quarter-final. The result of these games will soon be known, while the cup final itself will be played on a mid-Walian ground on Saturday, 2nd of May.
IT'S...TOTAL NETWORK SOLUTIONS
Following our magnificent 8-0 victory over Cymru Alliance leaders, Knighton Town, Barry have been drawn to face, yes, Total Network Solutions. The draw for the Welsh Cup quarter-finals have thrown up some intriguing fixtures, with two local derbies amongst the four matches. Bangor City will be entertaining Caernarfon Town, a journey of eight miles, while our opponents today will be hosting Newtown, a little over five miles away. The other match is between Connah's Quay Nomads and Cwmbran Town, another potentially exciting game between two sides pushing for the top of the LoW.
Playing T.N.S will certainly stir memories for Barry players and supporters, the least of which will be the Welsh Cup final of 1995-6, when Barry lost to the then-Llansantffraid side on penalties, after a thrilling match. In some ways, however, revenge was ensured in the Third round of the following seasons Welsh Cup, when Barry defeated the Saints 2-0. In our most recent games, we have defeated our 'bogey' side by the jointly held LoW record of 10-0, and 1-0 at the Recreation Ground in Llansantffraid.
In short, the quarter finals, due to be played on Saturday, 14th March, look set to be a set of crackers!
COMING UP!
Following Tuesday's Gilbert Cup game at home to Cwmbran Town, Barry will be playing away at Aberystwyth next Saturday, 28th February, and then to Cwmbran Town again on 7th March. Our following home match will be on the 10th March, when Barry will be attempting to gain revenge on Rhayader for holding Barry to a draw a few weeks ago.

Enjoy the match. Give the Town a shout!
