A youthful Barnet side secured an impressive 1-0 win over an experienced Nuneaton Town on Saturday at the Sperrin Brewery Stadium.

Martin Allen made eight changes to the starting XI and after an edgy opening 45 the young Bees showed incredible promise as they systematically destroyed the home side’s defence with wave after wave of attack.

Iffy Allen and Harry Crawford both had opportunities soon after the break but were denied by James Belshaw who was unable to keep out Valentin Gjokaj’s 57th minute thunderbolt which was worthy of winning any match from Skrill Premier to Premier League.
