i loved EVERY minute of it!!


barrow couldn't get to the tempo in the first 25 minutes, and were lucky to only be 10 behind

though, the raiders scrambling defence was superb, and the try just before ht was the inspiration to progress in the second 40


broadbent had the game of his life, how proud must he be tonight?

I thought Fax shaded the game but Barrow rallied & scored when it mattered good game though, delighted with a Barrow win



Broady was solid again tonight but Black was class also, very close game this, but it dosent half show you just how far Barrow have progressed recently

Not at all. Gary Broadbent plays like that every week and has done for many years.

And he has always been popular with the fans wherever he played - 100% effort every game. When a player gives that the fans will forgive the odd mistake.

I enjoyed all three games yesterday. Another 5 minutes in the Keighley-Oldham game and Oldham could have won. There was no sign in the Barrow-Halifax game that either side was treating it as a meaningless friendly, despite the fact that there wasn't a promotion place to be won.

Seven hours sitting on a cramped seat did me no good at all though - it reminded me why I prefer to stand in comfort on the terraces (though I doubt if I could do it for seven hours).
