Barrow prepare to entertain Kettering Town at Holker Street on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 8 previous games, with the Bluebirds winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Conference) North match.
