BARROW

[Excolt 1]

Barrow have lost this season against Doncaster, M. Wales and Keighley . We have beaten all three but have also lost to all three . Which Hornets team will show up ? Who knows, very disappointing at N.Wales last week but winning until going down to 12 men and the massive loss of Marriot before kick off. So I’m going for team spirit to win this huge game and see where that gets us.

We shall be without Fairclough, after ‘events’ at Hunslet, for the final two league games.  Marriott is on the preliminary team sheet on “OurLeague” along with most of last week’s team.  Barrow of course is on the verge of automatic promotion and all eyes on Worky’s ‘must win’ at London Skolars on Saturday. Tense games at home as we need 2 wins (and Hunslet to lose their last game at…Worky).  We may then shade it on the % rule into the play-offs.  Should be a great atmosphere and hopefully a Hornets victory.

Pipped in the last minute after the tremendous effort by the remaining 'lads', playing with 12 twelve (Tiara red!), since the 15th minute of the game and 11 players for 10 minutes at one point.  It's no irony, nor comfort that discipline again cost us what is now the end of the league campaign, aside for fulfilling the last game next week - no pushover.  Our season has been blighted by too many injuries, but finishing 7th and missing the play-offs must be a blow financially to the club and its faithful supporters.  Aside from finishing with a victory next week, what happens in the near future will be crucial.     

At least we will have the company of Oldham and Swinton.

From a town fan who was listening to the commentary in the hope of you beating Barrow, a huge well done for pushing them so close with 12 on the field. On the red card, Paul Rowley was summarising on radio Cumbria and he said no way was it a sending off.
You’ve certainly had some bad luck this year none more so than at ours. Good luck for next year!
