Barry Town United have been drawn at home to Gresford Athletic in the fourth round of the Welsh Cup.

Steve Jenkins’ men progressed to the last 16 of this season’s competition with a 6-0 win at Llanelli last weekend.

Their reward is a Jenner Park clash against the Wrexham club who are currently second bottom in the Cymru North.

It’s been a turbulent time for Gresford. Earlier this month, they were rocked by the departure of their chairman and most of their first team staff and committee members, including manager Eddie Maurice Jones, amid uncertainty about the club’s future direction.

Ahead of Thursday’s draw, Gresford moved to form a new club committee and unveiled Dave Evans as their new boss, following their 3-0 win over Penrhiwceiber Rangers in the third round.

Barry last played Gresford in the Welsh Cup in 2022 - their first game under then-manager Lee Kendall - which ended in a shock third-round exit for the Cymru Premier hosts.

Elsewhere in the fourth round, Cymru South club Caerau Ely aim to reach the quarter finals for the second season running when they face Cymru North leaders Llandudno.

Penybont entertain Flint Town United while Cardiff Met - who knocked out cup holders The New Saints - are at home to Caernarfon.

The winners of the rearranged third round clash between Cardiff Draconians and Trefelin BGC will go north to face Bangor 1876, one of three surviving teams from the third tier of Welsh football.

Ties will be played on the weekend of Friday 12th - Sunday 14th December.
