Barrow travel to take on Bath City at Twerton Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Bluebirds.

The last time the two teams met at Bath City was well over fifteen years ago, back in April 1992, the Stripes & City carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Conference match.
