Preview | Barry Town United Women v Swansea City Women

The Swans play a league fixture for the first time since their 2-1 win over Wrexham Women at the Swansea.com Stadium four weeks ago.
Since their last league outing, the Swans have reached the semi-finals of the Bute Energy Welsh Cup and the quarter-finals of the Adran Trophy, extending their good form to seven wins from their last eight games in all competitions.
Barry currently sit seventh in the Genero Adran Premier, picking up just two league wins so far this season.
In their last outing, they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the Genero Adran Premier to Aberystwyth.
PRE-MATCH VIEWS
Swansea City Women’s interim head coach Chris Church: “Barry have shown that they are not to be underestimated, we’ve got to be wary, especially going away from home.
“We’ve got to go there and play the quality of football that we know we can, there is a buzz in the changing room at the minute with the form that we are in.
“The players have been working hard week in week out and they’ve been getting the rewards for that, we just need to keep that going.
“We want to end the year strongly, we’ve lost one game in our last eight, so we want to be poised and ready after the break to make sure we are ready for a fight.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
The two sides last met earlier this season, with the Swans picking up their first win of the campaign thanks to a 3-0 victory.
Sammy Wynne opened the scoring for the Swans, slotting into the bottom-left corner just before the break.
