Lewis at the other end.

Marcus Jones and Newport County loanee Touray went close to adding to the lead while Tyrrell Webbe, on his first return to Jenner Park since moving to the Old Gold in the summer, also threatened from a free-kick but his effort was wide as Barry held on.

It was a sixth win of the season so for Gavin Chesterfie­ld’s side and moves them on to 19 points from 10 matches – two behind leaders Connah’s Quay Nomads who were not in league action.

Elsewhere Cardiff Metropolit­an University left it late to secure a 2-0 victory over Llanelli Town at Stebonheat­h Park.

Llanelli had the better of the first half without finding the breakthrou­gh as Carlos Indja sent a shot wide, Met’s Dylan Rees was forced into a goal-line clearance, and Joe Clarke had a shot saved by Alex Lang.

After the break it was then the visitors to the fore, with Llanelli penned into their own defensive third.

The breakthrou­gh finally arrived as Harry Owen popped up on 79 minutes to put the Archers ahead before Eliot Evans sealed the result in injury time with a stunning freekick.

Met are sixth in the table on 15 points.

Elsewhere Bala Town beat Newtown 3-2 while the game between Aberystwyt­h Town and Caernarfon Town ended goalless.

Meanwhile Connah’s Quay Nomads are into the quarter-finals of the IRN-BRU Cup after a 2-0 victory over nine-man Irish outfit Coleraine at the Deeside Stadium.

After a goalless first 45 minutes, the game then turned on a frantic 10-minute spell just after the hour mark.

First George Horan headed the Nomads in front, before the visitors then had Stephen Lowry sent off for two yellow cards.

He was quickly followed by team mate Stephen O’Donnell – who was shown a straight red for pulling back the Nomads’ Andy Owens when clean through.

Owens then made sure by adding a second goal in added time, converting Michael Bakare’s cross.
