Barry Athletic Tennis Club

We’re delighted to announce that .coffi are officially joining us as our shirt sponsor 🙌 and will proudly see them on the sleeve of our shirts.

It’s fantastic to have a local business supporting our club as we continue to grow, rebuild and put BATC back on the map.

A huge thank you to .coffi for supporting grassroots tennis and getting behind everything we’re building here at Barry Athletic.

It is with great sadness that Barry Athletic FC announce the passing of our great friend and former player, coach and Chairman, Tony Barnett.

Tony was a stalwart of Barry Athletic having joined in 1985 at the age of 16 and had a distinguished playing career, playing through the levels before representing Athletic in the amateur league for a number of years.    Following his playing days, Tony became Chairman of the Club circa 2010 and was a pivotal member of reigniting BAFC after the loss of the Amateur League side in the late 2000’s.  He had a clear development plan and vision as to how to grow the club, and although his ambitions were to pursue a coaching career elsewhere, he was happy to mentor others and provided advice and guidance for many years after leaving.  A truly selfless man who was respected and loved throughout the club and who ensured the clubs future was paramount.

No one has an off word to say about him and he never had an off word to say about others, even when some people deserved it!

He has an enormous amount of friends from his Barry Athletic days and the extended football family. He was a devoted family man, an amazing friend, loved at both Barry Athletic and Barry Town.  Also highly respected at the other clubs he represented and coached.

Liverpool fan through and through.

Tony has left behind a true legacy, an amazing family, and those who he’s coached.  A genuine kind man, and a true gentleman who will be missed by all.

Love you Tony
RIP mate 💜💜

A warm and sunny afternoon welcomed us to Barry Athletic Tennis Club as we hosted in today’s league fixture.

Despite a determined effort and some closely contested matches, we couldn’t quite overcome a very well-organised and strong Llantwit side. Credit to our opponents, who played some excellent tennis throughout the afternoon.

A huge thank you to all who came along and enjoyed a fantastic day of tennis in great conditions.

We wish the very best for the remainder of the season and look forward to meeting again on court in the future 🎾
