Barry Town v Aberystwyth TownJenner Park, 13 March, 2.30pmABERYSTWYTH will be out for revenge at Jenner Park today as they strive to build on the momentum built up by a draw and win courtesy of very late goals in the two games since the easing of lockdown restrictions.

Barry Town took all three points in the reverse fixture at Park Avenue in October.

Aber had led early in the second half thanks to a strike from Steff Davies but the visitors (who had earlier seen Clayton Green sent off) earned the three points thanks to goals from Kayne McLaggon and Jordan Cotterill.

Assistant manager Antonio Corbisiero, speaking after Lee Jenkins netted a 24th minute winner in the 2-1 defeat of Haverfordwest County at Park Avenue on Tuesday night, said: “The character that they have shown, to not feel sorry for themselves after conceding what was for us was a sloppy goal, and then go on to get that winner is brilliant.

“Psychologically getting off the bottom is a massive boost.

“We are not going to take anything for granted though, with a tough game coming up at Barry.

“We’re going to go with the same attitude as we have done, we’re still underdogs wherever we go and we’re just going to keep fighting for the league position.”

Jenkins’ winner came days after Jamie Veale had sealed a point at The Oval with an excellent free kick last-ditch free kick against Caernarfon Town.

Both Jenkins and Veale have contributed a goal and an assist each in the last two games, and with January recruits Jon Owen and Jamie Reed both finding the net also, things are starting to look up for Aber, who have now climbed out of the relegation zone.

Today presents a sterner test as Barry have only lost twice in their previous eight home games in the league – the first defeat coming on the opening weekend of the season to league leaders The New Saints, and the second against Penybont on Tuesday night.

Gavin Chesterfield’s men are in fifth place with 27 points from 18 games. The beat Cefn Druids 1-0 away in their first match back after the restart.

Chesterfield made three signings during the winter hiatus, with Rhys Kavanagh, Jamie Bird and experienced shot-shopper Lee Idzi all arriving at Jenner Park. Idzi will provide competition for popular former Aber keeper Mike Lewis, who is now in his fifth season with the club after leaving Park Avenue in 2016.

Barry’s dangerman this season is once again the ever-reliable Kayne McLaggon, who has scored eight times in 14 outings this season.

Jordan Cotterill has also netted four times, whilst Nathaniel Jarvis and David Cotterill have three goals each.
