Barrow vs Colchester United. Sky Bet League Two.
SO Legal Stadium.
Saturday 9 March 2024 18:15, UK
Kian Spence scored in first-half stoppage-time and Sam Foley in added-time in the second half as Barrow boosted their Sky Bet League Two promotion hopes with a 2-0 win over struggling Colchester.
Spence curled in a right-footed free-kick to register his seventh goal of the campaign but Pete Wild's side were made to work hard for their second home 2-0 win in five days.
Danny Cowley's visitors, beaten for only the second time in nine games, enjoyed the majority of possession.
However, they struggled to turn it into meaningful goal threats, although Tom Hopper did force Bluebirds goalkeeper and skipper Paul Farman into one first-half stop.
Farman, who was under Cowley's management at Lincoln, was at full stretch to deny Cameron McGeehan in the second half.
