We move up five places in the league with a convincing, battling team performance with three well-taken goals, two from open play, and some excellent defending. The first goal came from a Ward left-hand corner, Williams poking in at the far post in the 18th minute. The other two were superb strikes ...

Thanks for clarifying. The decision took a lot in the crowd by surprise.

Barrow are next to bottom of the league tonight with one point from four games. It could have been so different had we taken our chances in a dominant first half or had we managed the game better after Ward’s superb strike in the 75th minute finally gained us the lead. Sadly we eventually paid for o...

The Bluebirds remain unbeaten in pre-season friendlies with a convincing 2-0 victory over Blackpool, 125 years after their first meeting at the Strawberry Ground in September 1901. Sporting this season’s black and white anniversary kit, and Blackpool their famous Tangerine, the committed performance...

Lists are different. For example is Sutton home on 5th or 12th September?

We continued our long tradition of a one-goal defecit at home in a “foot of the table 6-pointer”, losing 2-1 to a Newport County side who celebrated long after the final whistle. In the end, Newport could have lost- and stayed up- but less than half an hour earlier they had looked doomed as we held ...

Although there was again a revival with a Barrow goal in the 88th minute, unlikely Tuesday night it was too little, too late with Walsall already enjoying a commanding 3-0 lead which could have been even more but for Stanway’s efforts. We played well patchily in the first 20 minutes and then gradual...

Barrow move within a point of Tranmere, Crawley and Newport with a superb fighting “under the lights comeback” which brought back memories of that FA Cup comeback against Nuneaton back in 2002! If we can carry that spirit onto Saturday’s lunch time home tie against Walsall, we may yet escape the dro...

All the bottom five League Two teams lost today, effectively consolidating a relegation mini-league detached by six points from the rest of the table. All but Newport lost at home, with Tranmere Rovers on a similar run of bad form to Barrow up to our Bromley win. Again the fine margins cost us, defe...

A superb performance against top of the table Bromley, coming from behind and we could have scored another couple! This is a return to the long-standing Barrow tradition of doing better playing the teams at the top, and we need to now carry that confidence and momentum forward. Our precious three po...

We showed fighting spirit and commitment today throughout the game, a vast improvement over Tuesday evening’s capitulation. The only thing missing was the accurate final ball and touch, and it is worrying we have only netted two goals in our seven home games in 2026. However, we have scored eight go...

Tonight was not only the latest in a long history of defeats at Holker Street in foot of the table six-pointers, but one that the players, from their body language, sadly appeared resigned to losing. We struggled to string passes together and only seriously challenged Rovers in added time at the end...

Another toothless performance today, with only 3 goals scored and 3 points (ONE win) in our last 8 league matches at Holker Street! Over the whole season we have only amassed 12 out of a possible 48 points at home with only three wins in 16 games here all season. Damning statistics but hardly surpri...

On 24th January when Crawley beat us 1-0 at home, I said in my report “It was the latest in a long history of 1-0 defeats at Holker Street in foot of the table six-pointers!” In that sense, tonight’s result was entirely predictable, and it seems than when faced with “musrt not lose” games at home, w...

Barrow dug in for a precious, battling, three points under new manager Dino Maamria, an excellent defensive performance against a dangerous Colchester attacking force paved the way for a late revival and goal. Just as impressive was how we contained the visitors for the final 10 minutes, gaining pos...
