Barry Town United were held to a 1-1 draw at Aberystwyth in their first Adran Premier game of 2025.

Stevie McCarthy Campbell's side remain fifth in the table following their third successive draw - with three games left before the league splits for the remainder of the season.

A goalless first half at Park Avenue saw Ingrid Aadland denied twice by home keeper Chelsea Herbert while Ellie Preece broke clear of the Aber defence to score, only for the offside flag to go up.

Preece also produced the best chance in stoppage time when her volley narrowly fell wide of the net.

The midfielder continued to apply the pressure after the break, while the hosts hit the bar, until in the 69th minute, some excellent team build-up saw Amy Long catch out the Aber keeper as she squared the ball to Aadland, who drilled the ball into an empty net from just outside the box.

But Barry's lead lasted just six minutes as Grace Corne's recovery was intercepted by Lleucu Mathias whose low volley over keeper Molly Arnesen produced the equaliser.

Both sub Lauren Harris and Erin Murray went close to finding a winner while Jasmine Turner went inches wide during a prolonged spell of stoppage time, which ended with honours even.

Barry return to Jenner Park for their first home game of the year next Sunday - with bottom-of-the-table Cardiff Met as the visitors.
