Innes Cameron's late goal sends Barrow through at Gillingham

Barrow beat Gillingham 1-0 in the FA Cup first round, and the winner came late. Innes Cameron scored in the 92nd minute, and that goal took Barrow into the second round.
The FA Cup is a knockout competition open to clubs across English football. Every tie is one match, so a defeat ends a club's run straight away. This was one of 40 first-round ties played between Friday 6 and Monday 9 November.
Barrow play in the National League, the fifth tier of the English men's game. Their nickname is the Bluebirds. Gillingham's own match report said Cameron's winner came from close range, and it described the 1-0 home defeat in plain terms.
Cameron is a forward, the attacking player whose job is to get on the end of chances and score them. A late winner is the kind of moment that stays with a squad. Barrow's manager, Adam Murray, praised the team's "no-fear" attitude after the game. It is a phrase that suggests a side willing to keep attacking when the scoreline is still tight.
Barrow's club published its own match report, which gives the same 1-0 result. The club's next home fixture is already set. They host Carlisle United at the Furness Building Society Stadium on 21 November, with a 3pm kick-off.
For Barrow, the next step is the second-round draw, which will decide their opponent. For Gillingham, the result means their cup run is over for this season. Either way, a 92nd-minute goal in a November tie is the sort of thing that keeps the FA Cup feeling like the FA Cup.
