Barrow picked up another valuable pre-season win when they beat Blackpool 2-0 at Holker Street.
Former boss Ian Evitt had made a nostalgic return with the Seasiders and overall will have been disappointed with his side’s efforts, particularly with regard to their finishing..
Adam Murray, the new Bluebirds boss by comparison, was pleased with his side’s resilience and the manner in which they scored their goals.
They had taken a one-goal lead into the interval after late in the half when Rekeem Harper made Blackpool keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell pay for a wayward pass meant to find a defender.
Blackpool had chances after the break but failed to capitalise and the Bluebirds doubled their lead late in the 78th minute when substitute Innes Cameron turned-in a cross from Ben Whitfield.
