Barrow moved through to the semi-finals of the Cumbria Cup with a 66-runs victory over Penrith at Ernest Pass. A third wicket stand of 109 between Darren Clark (67) and Ian Allington (54) provided the cornerstone of their 206 for 9, Neil Lauderdale making 30 not out at the end.
In reply Penrith were restricted to 140 for 9, pro Upal Fernando top-scoring with a patient 47.
Barrow are away at Haverigg in the semi-final while Netherfield, who won at Carlisle in the quarter final a fortnight ago, are away at Workington.
In the remaining League Cup second Division first round tie Chorley 2nd XI defeated Fleetwood 2nd XI by six wickets at Windsor Park.
After being invited to bat a youthful Fleetwood side had no answer to the left-arm opening Chorley bowler Richard Flood, who took five of the first six wickets to fall and returned an analysis of 5 for 12 from 5 overs. From 34 for 6 Fleetwood did manage to reach 78 thanks to late resistance from James Latus (14) and R Matthews (20) before they were dismissed in the 22nd over.
