Gainsborough Trinity 0-1 Barnsley
Odejayi 45
Much like how many Championship clubs like to play two teams in one night, North End included, Barnsley are no different. The Tykes sent two teams out to take on Gainsborough Trinity and Frickley Town.
Firstly, Barnsley recorded a 1-0 win away at Gainsborough Trinity thanks to a Kayode Odejayi goal on the stroke of half-time. Iain Hulme stole the headlines after making his return from his horrendous head injury but it was the Nigerian who scored the only goal of the game when he muscled his way through before thumping a low drive past goalkeeper Barnes in the Trinity goal.
Frickley Town 1-3 Barnsley
Devaney 1, Bogdanovic 31, Butterfield 50
Meanwhile, another Tykes XI were comfortably beating Frickley Athletic at Westfield Lane.
Devaney opened the scoring as early as 30 seconds in before Bogdanovic added a second just after the half hour mark. Butterfield wrapped up the scoring for Barnsley on 50 minutes.
