Match Preview:
Sunday’s match will be the key to who will win the Adran Plate Conference. With Ferry holding a one-point lead over Barry Town a win would secure the plate for the Reds.
Barry come into the game unbeaten in for games with three of those being wins. Jasmine Turner and Sienna Stone both scored in the Linnets 3-0 win over Aberystwyth in February. Barry followed that win with a key point against the Reds. Erin Murray’s penalty cancelling out Maia Owen’s first half strike. Barry followed those games with back-to-back wins over already relegated Pontypridd United.
Ferry also come into this game unbeaten in four games with wins over Pontypridd and Aberystwyth Town. Last time out saw the Reds draw with Aberystwyth after Jess Denscombe gave them an early lead it was Rebecca Matthias who set Libby Isaac for the equaliser.
The head-to-head this season is in Ferry’s favour with three wins from the four meetings. Maia Owen and Jade Crofts with the goals in a 2-0 win in the Adran Trophy in December which came a month after a 3-0 league win at The Road. Brooke Llewellyn, Lucy Powell and Jade Crofts with the goals. Crofts clearly enjoys scoring against Barry as she has fond the net four times including a brace in the first meeting of the season which Ferry won 4-1.
