The Railwaymen faced a stubborn Briggensians side who weren’t willing to roll over.
Chances were spurned at regular intervals in the first half as the hosts held firm and frustrated Barnetby.
The second half continued in a similar vein with Briggensians willing to sit back and stand firm to what was thrown at them.

Dan Greaves swung in the set-piece that was met by the head of Brendan O’Callaghan who looped a header into the far corner for his 16th goal of the season, to finally break Briggensians resistance.
On 84 minutes a Liam Jordan corner was met by the trusted head of Joe Stothard who powered home Barnetby’s second and made the result safe.
