Gavin Chesterfield’s side have found themselves in the Championship Conference once again as they look to clinch European football for the third year in a row.
It was on 20th August 2020, that Barry Town lost 5-1 to Faroe Islands side NSÍ Runavík in the Preliminary Round of the Europa League.
Despite this, with six games to go in the Cymru Premier, what does Barry Town have to do to affirm European football once again?
How can Barry Town qualify?
Being in the championship conference for phase two of the league means Barry are guaranteed a place in the Cymru Premier European playoffs.
This season due to COVID, the playoffs will have two semi-finals and a final. The winner of the final will guarantee European qualification.
In the playoffs, 4th place will play 7th place and 5th place will play 6th place in the final standings of the Cymru Premier. All games are one-legged.
Although, unlike previous seasons, the winner of the playoffs will play in the European Conference League qualifiers instead of the Europa League.
The new Conference League is UEFA’s third tier annual continental club competition, sitting below the Champions League (first tier) and Europa League (second tier).
This competition will be played for the first time in the 2020/21 season.
How does the Cymru Premier look now?
Currently, all teams have played 26 games with six games remaining.
Barry Town are presently placed in fourth place with 40 points. Above them in 3rd place are Bala Town with 48 points and just below them in 5th place are Penybont with 39 points.
Interestingly for Barry Town, if Haverfordwest finish the season in 7th place. Normally, they would be entitled to play in the playoffs, but they haven’t been granted a UEFA license. This means that, if Barry finish in 4th they would be granted a bye into the final.
Town will be desperate to bring European football back to Jenner Park after the past year has negatively affected all Welsh Premiership clubs financially.
