Barrow forward Isaac Marriott expressed satisfaction after his side used a cup competition to lay down a marker for the season. Marriott, who joined Barrow from National League rivals Altrincham in the summer, said the team's performance in the cup showed their ambition.
The 24-year-old striker moved to Holker Street during the close season and has quickly adapted to his new surroundings. Barrow's cup run has provided early evidence of the squad's potential, with Marriott believing the result sends a positive signal to the rest of the division.
