The Bay fell to their second away defeat in a week as Barrow registered their first win in ten games.

Marc Limbert twice went close for the Bay in the opening 15 minutes while for Barrow, Neil Illman had a couple of chances to open the scoring in an evenly contested first half.

On 40 minutes the Bay were awarded a penalty when Limbert was brought down in the box, but Graham Roberts saw his resultant spot kick saved by Barrow ‘keeper Simon Bishop.

Barrow took the lead in first half stoppage when Lee Ellison was the provider for Nicky Peverell to slide the ball under Richie Roberts.

Just after the interval, the home side went 2-0 up. Lee Rogers free kick was flicked on by Peverell to Nicky Waller who toe-pocked the ball past Roberts. Marc Limbert forced a save from Bishop minutes later, but Barrow extended their lead on 54 minutes with Neil Doherty’s 20 yard drive, and they scored a fourth late on when Peter Donnelly turned in Neil Donerty’s cross to concede an own goal.
