Barrow play host to Rushden & Diamonds at Holker Street on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Bluebirds lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.
The only previous meeting between Barrow and Rushden & D. at was back in January 1999, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Conference match.
