Walsall visited the SO Legal Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they looked to reverse a nine-game winless run at the expense of hosts Barrow.
The home side opened the scoring midway through the first-half when Aaron Pressley left Walsall's defence All Shook Up after seeing an initial effort parries before capitalising upon the loose ball to tap home.
Barrow doubled their lead in second-half stoppage time, as substitute Emile Acquah added to the Saddlers' woes. A truly dismal afternoon in Cumbria.
