Last updated 19:14, Saturday, 18 October 2008

Blue Square Premier:

Barrow AFC 3 (D Brown 3, Logan 31 Henney 90+3) Eastbourne Borough 1: (Osbourne 90+2)

BARROW gained their first home win in the league since August 23 in a real six-pointer against lowly Eastbourne.

The Bluebirds looked to be cruising in the first half with an early first goal for the club from David Brown and a scintillating strike from Carlos Logan giving them a two-goal advantage.

But the visitors from the south coast battled hard after the break and reduced the arrears in time added on before Matt Henney broke away an rounded the Borough keeper to seal the win.
