How did Barrow prepare for the new season?
Manager Adam Murray has overseen a mixed pre-season for Barrow, with a 4-3 win over Mansfield Town followed by a 0-0 draw against Radcliffe. After the Radcliffe game, Murray said: "It was a real game of football. Last night was very physical, and they gave us different challenges to what we’ve dealt with so far in pre-season."
What else is happening at Barrow AFC?
