With the first team having their Saturday fixture at Leek snowed off, Tony Greenwood hijacked this game to give his squad some much needed match practice. As a consequence, the score was of little significance although the Barrow keeper really did stop it reaching double figures.

Fleetwood played a passing game throughout, all the goals being nicely executed but Barrow, to their credit, remained competitive to the end, grabbing a goal from their one scoring chance.
