BARNETBY BACK TO WINNING WAYS

The Railwaymen picked up their first league win since September with an emphatic 7-1 victory at home to Baltic Boys, writes Lee Fielden.
On a blustery day at Silver Street, Brendan O’Callaghan put Barnetby 2-0 up early on with a cool finish and a direct corner effort.
Ryan Jordan then ran through to make it 3-0... and moments later Terry Carolan made it 4-0, finishing off a sweeping move.
Following a defensive mix up, Darius Mikuzis reduced the Baltic Boys deficit on the stroke of half-time.
The conditions worsened in the second half but O’Callaghan was able to complete his hat-trick to make it 5-1; his header then made it 6-1 and his fifth goal of the game (and 33rd of the season) followed a Jake Parker assist to round off the scoring.
