STRUGGLING with injuries, Harrogate Town entertain Barrow knowing a win is essential as they fight for a Conference North play-off position.

Monday's defeat to Kettering Town ended the Wetherby Roaders title aspirations but with the club in fourth position, they could yet extend their campaign beyond the regulation season.

To do that they must pick up points against a side in 16th place, but they will have to do it without the suspended Jamie Price, while Jamie Smith, Leigh Wood, Chris Ellerker and Roy Hunter are all struggling with knocks.

Boss Neil Aspin has stressed the need to string together a brace of resilient displays and he believes the play-off spots will probably not be decided until the last game.

Aspin said: "We're all in it together, and we now need a couple of good performances."
