History of the Wrexham v Barrow fixture

Wrexham play host to Barrow at Racecourse Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Dragons are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 4 of the 37 games.

The last time the two teams met at Wrexham was way back in the black-and-white days of April 1967, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Fourth Division match.
