Haverfordwest County AFC travel to face Barry Town on Saturday 24 October aiming to halt a damaging four-match losing streak. The Cymru Premier clash at Jenner Park kicks off at 17:15 local time with the Bluebirds desperate for points.
Sitting 12th in the table with 10 points from 13 games, Haverfordwest's recent form reads as four straight losses. Their last outing was a 2-1 home defeat to Caernarfon Town on October 9, where Ben Ahmun's 83rd-minute strike proved only a consolation after goals from Z. Clarke and S. Bradley. The team has scored just eight league goals all season while conceding 19, leaving them with a goal difference of minus 11. Their overall record stands at three wins and a draw from their 13 matches.
Barry Town also approach the fixture in inconsistent shape, having lost three of their last four matches. Their sole win in that sequence was a 1-0 victory away at Caernarfon Town on October 3. They were beaten 3-1 by Penybont in their most recent game.
The Bluebirds' sole victory in their last five attempts came against Holywell on September 18. Since then, narrow 1-0 losses to Flint Town United, where J. Malkin scored a late winner, Cardiff MET and Colwyn Bay have been followed by the defeat to Caernarfon. The squad that started that last match included Knott in goal, with Rees, Abbruzzese and Ahmun in the lineup.
The hosts' last starting XI featured Ratcliffe in goal with George and Williams in defence.
With the league's standings showing a 27-point gap to leaders The New Saints, the immediate focus for Haverfordwest is climbing away from the lower reaches. Their next assignment after on Saturday 24 October is a trip to face 13th-placed Ammanford AFC on Friday 30 October.
