Trophy action finally underway for Barnet

The bonus of Saturday’s FA Trophy games being postponed meant no need to find a midweek game for the Tuesday before Xmas, The Hive beckoned once more as Step 3 Plymouth Parkway made the long trip up from the West Country to take on high flying Barnet.

Of course it was also a chance to catch up with a few of the Barnet folk before the Christmas break, it seems a long while since they were last in action, indeed it was 3rd December.

Having had a couple of weeks without a game, a majority of the players were chomping the bit to play, a few missed out with illness  but 90 minutes was really needed with Boreham Wood in mind on Boxing Day and a chance for others to stake a claim for a regular starting spot.
