Laura Curnock gave the visitors an even firmer grip on the contest when she calmly converted from the penalty spot in the 71<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;minute, following Ffiona Evans\u2019 handball inside the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ffion Price added a stunning fourth goal for Cardiff deep into stoppage-time as her cross-turned-shot flew over Sophie Steele and nestled into the back of the net.

Rosie Hughes doubled the lead 15 minutes later after she forced a mistake in defence from the hosts, rounded Emily Blunt and slotted home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jasmine Turner halved the deficit for Barry shortly before half-time, but Hughes produced a fierce volley from inside the area just after the hour mark to restore Wrexham\u2019s two-goal cushion. Knox then added her name to the scoresheet soon after when her low drive squirmed through the hands of Blunt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barker also rounded Blunt and tapped into the net before the 25-year-old quickly completed her hat-trick with another sweet strike to give Jenny Sugarman\u2019s side all three points. It is the sixth time this season that the Red Dragons have scored six or more goals in a single game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12909\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dogirq7bi39sv.cloudfront.net\/HAFuo2mWYAARCuS-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Katie Barker netted her first hat-trick in Wrexham colours against Barry Town United.
