Just before HT its 12-0 to Barrow.

Its a battle up the middle with Barrow wripping it out wide from time to time.

Last few mins, Head gone over 12-6, barra penilised at the scrum, pen to heed who ran it in, silly gifted try which should boost head up.

HT Now 12-8

Hendo bringing the heed back into this, but all heeds pts have come from needless penaltys gifted by 2 bobs and barra in general.

Barrow were crusing 5 mins before the break.

scores now 12-10, after 45mins

Is Des Johnson playing?

Hes playing (fullback/wing/centre/stand off/scrum half/prop/hooker/second row and loose forward) No one else allowed to play.

Hes struggling to cover the field hes losing 12-16.

Magic

i bet hes first in the queue for the post match food too..

barrow 12 gateshead 16 ft

that puts them 3 points clear with sheff ro play away, whats the points difference?

.................about 70 on us unfortunately.

+56

LOL!! Barra need to lose by 12 depriving them of the bonus point away against Sheff, meaning if we win by at least 44 against Toulouse, WE HAVE A CHANCE OF COMING TOP!!!

It's not beyond us.

Already stuffed Toulouse (during bad spell) and the Don Valley (of death) is not a good place to go looking for a result.

Keep the dream alive - come on Fax

But if Sheffield do them 50 nil, we would only need to win by 7 points.

Come on you Eagles...................

Self destruct buttom has not quite been pressed yet




Thursdays now going to be very interesting.

Good point! It's a Thursday KO, a 3 day turnaround, Barra could come a cropper here

AND if they balls up we'll know EXACTLY what we need to do on Saturday!

You lot should worry about the result at Barrow - it's not done us a bundle of good!

I see Ronnie Laughton was ref at Barra, maybe he did us a favour? Interesting to see that Gary High has neglected us tonight ... oh, tonight of all nights gazza, where are yer? Gone to drown yer sorrows in those plush Barra WMCs? (LOL). As I've always said, what goes round comes round, he who laughs last, ... and a great big

to gazza "not so high tonight".

A promising result for us it must be said

Oh Dear

Is this an indication that barrow might be stumbling at exactly the wrong time????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Now that's more like it, Gazza!

Joking aside, may the best team come top this weekend, and let the buttock clenching battle commence!

lot of fax fans will be watching the sheff v barrow game on sky thursday evening n praying...

The outcome of that game will have a significantly significant bearing on the Shay attendance on saturday too

hope the result goes our way and can try for a bumper crowd saturday.

i brought a few friends down the shay yesterday and they were mightily impressed with how the ground is shaping up, the more newcomer the merrier
