Briton Ferry suffered a comprehensive 4-1 defeat at home to league leaders Barry Town United last weekend. The result extended Barry's perfect start to the season and left Ferry with a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses. Teenager Ricky-Lee Owen scored a consolation goal for the hosts, pulling one back after Elliott Dugan had put Barry ahead. Dugan completed a hat-trick and Owen Brain added a fourth for the visitors in the second half. The defeat leaves Briton Ferry eleven points behind the early pacesetters.
With the transfer window now closed, manager Paul Evans has a reshaped group to work with. The eight new signings will need to integrate quickly to address a goal difference of minus five.
