Barry Town United maintained their 100% start to the Cymru Premier season with a 1-0 victory that ended Cardiff Met's perfect record.

The deadlock at Jenner Park was broken with 13 minutes remaining when Barry were awarded a penalty after a push by Fumpa Mwandwe on substitute Dan Barton.

Jack Shaw's spot-kick was parried by Met goalkeeper Arron Davies, who guessed the right way, but in the ensuing scramble Dan Smith headed in.

Barry are second on goal difference behind Llandudno, the only other side with a 100% record after Friday's 3-1 win against Holywell Town.

In the late game, Caernarfon Town bounced back from last week's defeat at home to Penybont with a 3-0 win over Colwyn Bay, who suffered their first loss of the campaign.

Captain Danny Gosset gave the hosts a first half lead before Zack Clarke added a second before Adrian Cieślewicz struck nine minutes later to seal Caernarfon's win.
