The lead remained until Leo Lovell doubled it in added time as Slingerz took a 2-nil victory after the final whistle.

The win is Slingerz sixth and gives them 18 points to further extend their lead in the league’s points table.

Barrow scored his first in the 6th minute of play before returning in the 58th to cement the victory.

Police keep their second place behind Slingerz with their fourth win in seven clashes to go along with two draws and a loss.

Western Tigers are third in the table after a win on Saturday over Monedderlust.
