Barrow's epic clashes with Bournemouth, coupled with a change of management, sparked a remarkable transformation
It's a scenario which certainly looked impossible just last November, with the club languishing in 19th place in the North Division.

The side had just managed a fantastic draw in the F.A. Cup against League One side Bournemouth, but manager Phil Wilson was dismissed due to the club's poor league form.

However, the transformation since the subsequent appointment of David Bayliss and Darren Sheridan was nothing short of startling.

The side produced championship winning form from that point on, cementing the fourth and final play-off place on the final day of the season. The last 29 games yielded 65 points, with just two defeats along the way.

In the semi-final of the play-offs, the Bluebirds brushed aside AFC Telford United with 2-0 victories in both legs, and the unthinkable promotion followed with a Matt Henney goal edging them past Stalybridge Celtic in the final at Burton Albion's ground.
