Barrow’s clash at home to Forest Green abandoned due to waterlogged pitch
Barrow had taken the lead inside the first minute but the weather forced the referee to call an early halt to proceedings.
Barrow’s National League game with Forest Green was abandoned after 14 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch.
The game got under way on time at a sodden Holker Street and hosts Barrow quickly took the lead when Isaac Marriott lobbed Rovers goalkeeper Luke McNicholas inside the first minute.
But in the 13th minute, with conditions worsening, an attempted back pass from Barrow’s Marcel Oakley stopped dead on the pitch due to standing water, allowing Sean Etaluku a clear sight of goal.
His effort flew over but the referee had little option but to call a halt to proceedings.
