Eastleigh 3-1 Barrow

James Constable now has 16 league goals this season, two fewer than last year

Eastleigh scored twice in the first 30 minutes on their way to a comfortable win over Barrow to move to within a point of the final play-off place.

Matt Tubbs crossed for Luke Coulson to head the opener before James Constable nodded in to double their advantage.

Mid-table Barrow came into the game on a 10-game unbeaten run and Andy Cook halved their deficit from a corner.

The Spitfires eventually killed off the visitors, Ben Strevens tapping in after his penalty kick was saved.
