1993 - 97   -   Barry was instrumental in the club's early success winning four league & cup doubles in as many seasons, and was also a part of the team that won the County 5-a-side tournament in 1996.

He was the youngest starter in the team playing at left midfield in the Herts. Junior Cup final enjoying a momentous 3-0 win over Bennington.

1997 / 98   -   Barry committed himself to the club through this hard, tough season whilst others left the club to play elsewhere.

1998 / 99   -   He was rewarded for this commitment with a Division Two league and cup double, securing promotion to Division One.

2000 / 01   -   He was a starter in the Division One cup final win over a very fancied Knebworth scoring the best goal of the game from 35 yards out.

2001 / 02   -   Barry had another fantastic year for the first team playing alongside Max Blanch and Billy Luscombe in midfield. He was the linchpin in the team's fantastic Division 1 League and Cup double season, made 17 appearances for the team scoring 5 good goals and finishing 5th in the Man of the Match.

2002 / 03   -   Barry returned for a record equalling 10th season with the club but suffered terribly through injuries. After Xmas 2002 he had only played a few games for the 1st team, choosing instead to take over part responsiblities with Matt O'Dea as 1st team manager. He made eleven appearances, scored one goal and was awarded a second place and third place Man of the Match award.

He took over a lot of the responsibilities for the 1st team towards the end of the season and will be manager in 2003/04.
