Tube to Stanmore first to get some cash, then a pint and toastie at Wetherspoons. Lovely sunny day and I''m in my shorts. Got the Jubilee line back one stop to Canons Park, and 10 minute walk to the new Barnet ground opened in 2009 by Fabio Capello when he was England manager, known as the Hive. My seat in the West stand costs £13, and the prog £3. Keanu Marsh-Brown raced down the left in the 4th min and scored a good goal to get the fans cheering. A second came 5 minutes before half time. They came out from the break seemingly set for a win, but from an early skirmish round the Barnet area, Liam Tomsett let fly from 30 yards and scored a stunner. And he did it again on 78 mins another long range shot sent flying past Graham Stack. Two quality goals that belied their lowly position. But Barnet managed to get the all important winner 6 mins from time to keep them second in the table on equal points with Cambridge.
