1 minute read

BARRY RFC First XV are through to the second round of the Admiral National League Division Two Cup. The Bombers were due to visit Division Two East Pill Harriers in the first round on Saturday, but the Newport-based club pulled out of the competition on Friday, giving Barry a walkover.

After victories in their first two league matches, Barry will be aiming to make it three on the bounce when they visit Ynysybwl on Saturday (10th October). The Bombers will be renewing acquaintance with former rivals, the Bulls, having been relegated from Division One at the end of the 2023-24 season.
