I thought we were poor first half. Defensively we looked pretty sound for the first 15 minutes or so but we gave away possession far too easily and at times forced a pass that wasn't on. You're never going to win a game when we hand possession to a side whether it's Fev or Barrow.
I've not seen much of Barrow so it would be nice to see what their fans thought of their performance today. In the second half we started slow and played one out rugby for a time. We looked nervous and had their try not been chalked off in the last quarter I thought we were out of it. However, we carved out the scores and it became an edge of your seat affair. We got the try in the end and IMO it see-sawed a bit in the last 5/10 minutes and a try for either team looked on the cards. Fortunately, we got it and took home the much needed points.
Credit to the Barrow fans for the noise and atmosphere created. It hurts to loose on the final hooter and wish you well for the remainder of the season, albeit not the return fixture!
Big raps to Gav Duffy. In the second half he took the game by the scruff of the neck and gave his heart and sole to the cause. His spirit and effort lifted the lads who looked otherwise a bit flat until our second try of the game.
