Solihull edge out 10-man Barrow to claim first win of season

Bottom club Solihull claimed a first win of the season with a 1-0 victory against 10-man Barrow.

Moors started well and Callum McFarlane was denied a ninth-minute opener by a superb block from defender Marcel Oakley.

Jacob Wakeling fired an effort into the side-netting, while at the other end Moors goalkeeper Nathaniel Ford made a smart save to keep out Isaac Marriott.

Barrow were reduced to 10 men shortly before half-time when MJ Williams was shown a second yellow, but they started the second half brightly, with Seb Thompson having two quickfire efforts comfortably saved.

It was Moors who broke the deadlock in the 66th minute when Scott High swept the ball into the top corner from just inside the penalty area.

Barrow substitute Alex Reid spurned a great chance to level as he shot inches wide and Solihull held on.
