Exeter could not get the win they needed to give themselves a chance of making the League Two play-offs as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Barrow.

Barrow certainly looked up for the fight, despite having nothing to play for, and almost went ahead on 12 minutes when Chris Taylor looped a volley over the head of Jokull Andresson but it drifted just wide of the upright.

Exeter opened the scoring on 26 minutes when Lewis Page slipped a fine ball into the path of Robbie Willmott and he crossed for Matt Jay to finish from close range - his 20th goal of the season.

Barrow always looked dangerous, though, and Neal Eardley drilled a shot just wide on the stroke of half-time.

Jake Taylor's volley was well saved by Dixon before Barrow equalised on 57 minutes when a corner fell kindly for Tom Beadling and he smashed the ball in from eight yards.

Substitute Ben Seymour glanced a header into the arms of Dixon before teeing up Ryan Bowman, who blasted high.

Barrow's Ollie Banks was denied by Andresson on the counter as Exeter pushed for a winner, but they lacked the quality to get that winning goal.
