Ben Whitfield and Tyrell Warren scored as Barrow beat Doncaster 2-0 to celebrate manager Pete Wild’s new contract.
Whitfield scored his fourth goal of the season after 37 minutes and Warren rolled in his second of the term 13 minutes from the end of what proved to be a one-sided encounter.
Wild, who signed a three-year deal when he joined last May, missed out on the League Two manager of the month award for August.
But his job in taking the Cumbrian side into an automatic promotion place has been rewarded with a “multi-year” contract.
Barrow started slowly and Adam Long went close to giving the visitors an early lead. The hosts eventually got going, though, and after Jonny Mitchell made two vital stops, Whitfield struck.
Tommy Rowe was denied an equalizer in the 44th minute by keeper Paul Farman. But Barrow controlled the second half and should have scored more than Warren’s right-footed effort after great build-up between Josh Gordon and Billy Waters.
