Isaac Fletcher's first goal of the season secured Barrow a welcome 1-0 win over Crewe Alexandra as they celebrated boss Andy Whing's 41st birthday in style.
The Bluebirds snapped their dismal four-match losing run with a resolute victory at Holker Street, a single second-half strike proving enough to settle a contest of missed chances.
Booth Keeps Crewe Level
Crewe goalkeeper Tom Booth produced a number of good saves, the first of which was keeping out Connor Mahoney early on. Fletcher then missed a great chance for the hosts when he blasted over the bar.
