Barnoldswick Town grabbed a 3-3 draw against Congleton Town
BARNOLDSWICK Town were forced to take a share of the spoils in an exciting opening game of the season.
Matt Barnes's side secured a 3-3 draw in their curtain-raiser with Congleton Town in the Hallmark Security League Premier Division on Saturday.
Barlick took the lead in the 29th minute through Joseph Noblet. But this advantage was shortlived as Emini Adegbenro equalised two minutes later.
