Strikers Jamie Taylor and Andy Atkin were both on target as Eastbourne Borough gained revenge on bogey team Barrow at Priory Lane.

Taylor put Borough ahead four minutes before the break and Atkin doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time.

Barrow looked the better team for much of the game but had to wait until the 94th minute to gain any reward when Paul Jones headed a consolation.

The visitors had the first chance of the game when Carlos Logan cut inside from the right wing and sent a shot over the bar.

Weatherstone had a chance at the other end almost immediately but seemed surprise to find himself clean through and his soft lob went straight to Tomlinson.

It started to look like Weatherstone was going to be the only one to score when he forced Tomlinson to parry with a 35-yard thunderbolt and then hit a 20-yard free kick straight at the keeper.

The former Crawley midfielder also hit a shot on the turn at Tomlinson and then saw another 35-yarder fly just wide before a volley deflected narrowly past a post.

Despite all their chances Barrow looked the better team going forward and should have taken the lead in the 27th minute. Jason Walker sent David Foley clear down the right and his low cross was lifted over by Aaron Taylor from six yards.

The Bluebirds almost equalised after Taylor had given Borough the lead when his header was tipped over the bar.

Barrow made a double substitution at the break and continued to dominate the play with Logan forcing Danny Knowles into a good save low down.

Knowles also tipped a header from Jason Walker over the bar while Walker put a free header wide.

Borough were looking dangerous on the break though with Taylor proving very lively.

He sent Atkin clear whose shot was blocked by Tomlinson and also forced the Barrow keeper into a diving stop after cutting in from the right.

Taylor should have wrapped up the points with eight minutes to go when he raced on to a long ball from Weatherstone but was let down by his finish.

Jones headed home from a corner deep into injury time but it proved too late.
