Supporting them are Charlie McCann, Danny Rose and Niall Canavan, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Barrow’s attack.

Meanwhile, Newport’s top finisher Nathaniel Opoku and Kai Whitmore have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Christian Fuchs at the helm, remains effective.
