First-half goals
Barry made it two wins from two with goals from Nicky Burke, Jamie Moralee and a Dean Tuft own goal. Andy Griffiths netted a consolation for the visitors, though the home side were never in danger.
Four more for Llansantffraid
TNS Llansantffraid FC picked up where they left off against Rhyl FC last week with a 4-0 victory at Caersws FC. David Bridgewater broke the deadlock before half-time, before Scott Ruscoe added a brace and David Wilde rounded off the scoring.
Bangor bite back
Bangor City FC also have a 100 per cent record after coming from behind to beat Cwmbran Town FC. Chris Summers had given the visitors a first-half lead but Kenny Burgess and Lee Hunt turned the game around for the hosts. Rhyl beat Haverfordwest County AFC 1-0 at Belle Vue with Chris McGinn on target.
Derby draw
Lee Spike looked to have earned Aberystwyth Town FC the points at home to Caernarfon Town FC but the visitors hit back through Danny Barton. The mid-Wales derby between Oswestry Town FC and Newtown AFC ended goalless.
Two for Twynham
In Friday's games, a Gary Twynham double gave Port Talbot FC a well-earned 2-0 success at Carmarthen Town AFC.
Late show at Afan Lido
Elsewhere, Afan Lido FC needed a late leveller from Leigh Shrimpton to salvage a point at home to Llanelli FC. Kevin Bartley had set the hosts on their way but second-half strikes from Nicky Palmer and Geraint Hughes put Llanelli in control.
Welshpool held
Welshpool Town AFC were also kicking themselves after a last-gasp Craig Wilkinson effort gave Flexys Cefn Druids AFC a 3-3 draw. Mark Allen and Joe Desmoreaux had put the Druids ahead before Steve Bird capped a stirring fightback by the hosts to make it 3-2.
