Struggling Barrow secured a 1-0 home win over Colchester United in Dino Maamria's first game in charge, with Niall Canavan settling a tight contest five minutes from time.
The defender slammed home in the 85th minute after the ball had been headed back across goal from a free-kick into the box, ending a six-match losing run and moving the Bluebirds five points clear of the League Two relegation zone.
