Rovers face FA Cup replay with Northwood
Barton Rovers were held to a 1-1 draw by Northwood in their FA Cup first round qualifying clash on Saturday.
After putting eight past Staines Lammas in the previous round, Barton started well as Nat Peacock’s header was saved by Danny McNicholas.
The visitors had chances too though when George Nicholas headed over and they should have been ahead on 37 minutes as they awarded a penalty, only for Dave Lawrence to miss the target.
