Barrow 3-3 Crawley

Crawley's faint hopes of clinching a play-off spot were ended after Barrow netted a late goal to earn themselves a 3-3 draw in a six goal thriller played at Holker Street.

The visitors capitalised on their early dominance in the 19th minute when Jamie Cook got on to the end of a Robbie Matthews pass to fire his side into the lead.

The Reds doubled their advantage just before half-time when Carlos Logan brought down Adam Quinn in the area and Jamie Cook made no mistake from the resulting penalty.

However, Barrow refused to throw in the towel and they managed to reduce the deficit in the 53rd minute when Mark Boyd's corner was met by Nick Rogan, who netted from close range to make it 2-1.

Steve McNulty then levelled things up in the 65th minute when he headed home from a Andrew Bond cross to set up a tense last half an hour.

Steve Evans' side found themselves back in front 10 minutes later when Isaiah Rankin blasted the ball into the back of the net to give the visitors the advantage.

But Nick Rogan then sent the home fans into a frenzy when he scored after Simon Spender's initial shot was parried away by Reds 'keeper Simon Rayner.
