Nuneaton Town went down to a 2-1  defeat at Tamworth in a Conference  Premier Division game tonight.  

Boro did not get the paperwork in time and could not include young Coventry City defender Jordan Willis, who joined today on a months loan.

It was a defender in Simon Forsdick who opened the scoring in the 18th minute when he headed in a Cartwright cross.

Tamworth pliled on the pressure with Nuneaton clearing everything until the 44th minute when Richard Tait had shot blocked, but Barrow on hand on the left of box to lift his shot over McNamara and in to the net at the far post.

Gavin Cowan was sent off for violent conduct just before the break reducing Nuneaton to ten men and In the 76th minute, a crowd of 1516 including 401 Nuneaton fans, saw Marcus Law's side snatch the winner in the A5 derby when Richard Tait headed in Barrow's pinpoint left wing cross.
