Brown takes Barrow to Round Three

Two goals, one a penalty from former Hereford United striker David Brown (pictured whilst at Edgar Street), were enough to take Barrow through to Round Three of the FA Cup this evening.

Visitors Brentford had their goalkeeper sent off which resulted in Brown's penalty. Charlie MacDonald replied early in the second half but Henney put the Non-league side ahead again after seventy minutes.

Brown joined Hereford United in June 2003 and played 67 times for the Bulls scoring 22 goals. In March 2005 he moved to Accrington Stanley and onto Barrow last month. Earlier this season he had a trial with York City.

Barrow will receive £30,000 for their victory this evening.

In other news this evening Mk Dons have been taken to task for not trying to rearrange last Tuesday's League One match with Hereford United.

The BucksFizz site suggests that playing the game tomorrow would have made the Dons up to an extra £30,000 from gate recepits etc.

The site makes reference to the fact that only 200 fans supporting Hereford came to the game.

Those who know about Herefords away support will tell you the hardy 200 that made the awful cross country trek to Stadium:MK was well down on their usual numbers. A Saturday fixture would have seen treble that even though they are in the relegation zone.
