It’s a match between the champions of Conference North and South at Hayes Lane on Saturday as Barrow make the long trip down from the North West to face Bromley.

The Ravens recovered from their 4-0 defeat at Tranmere last Saturday with a close fought and slightly fortunate 2-1 win over Welling on Tuesday night, which has seen Mark Goldberg’s men move back up to fifth in the table.

Barrow sit in twelfth five points behind Bromley, but recorded an impressive 3-2 win over Chester last time out and have made a more than respectable start to their first season back up at this level.

The Ravens will be without Lee Minshull who is suspended and also have injury doubts over Alex Wall, Ben May, Alan Julian, Paul Rodgers and Max Porter.

Defender Jack Holland has been deputising as a target man in the absence of May & Wall, scoring his second goal of the stint at Welling in midweek.

It should be a close fought encounter between two good sides on a hopefully sunny Autumn afternoon at The Lane and with an international break and reduced prices for Non League Day there will be a few more on the gate from local league sides, plus a hardy 60 from Barrow.
