Cardiff City had to come from behind to win in added time at Cascade in the Bute Energy Welsh Cup 2nd Round, Barry needed penalties to knockout Caldicot.
Cascade nearly caused an upset again, having gone one up against Cardiff City through Megan Waite. Nieve Jenkins eventually levelled and it was stoppage-time before Molly Kehoe put the Bluebirds ahead.
Caldicot threatened a shock against Barry whom they led 2-1 but even after the visitors had goalkeeper Molly Arnesen sent-off and outfielder Erin Murray between the sticks, Keira Harris equalised and Ellie Gunney converted the decisive spot-kick.
