Barrow handed strikers cup boost

Last updated : 23 October 2009 By BBC Sport

Barrow will have loan strikers Jon Shaw and Andy Cook available for FA Cup duty after the Bluebirds received clearance from their two parent clubs to play.Rochdale delayed their decision to allow Shaw to feature until they received similar permission for striker Chris O'Grady from Oldham Athletic.

Cook meanwhile was handed permission by Carlisle United to feature, ruling him out of their cup campaign.

Chester are Barrow's opponents in Saturday's fourth qualifying round tie.

Shaw, 25, has FA Cup pedigree, having featured for Burton Albion in their 0-0 draw with Manchester United in 2006 when the Brewers reached the third round under current Derby boss Nigel Clough.

If selected, Saturday's match would be Cook's FA Cup debut, having graduated from the Carlisle academy to sign professional terms in January 2009.
