Reggie Lambe and his Carlisle United teammates went down 1 - 0 in their first pre-season friendly following their four day mini-break against Barrow at Holker Street.
The hosts took the lead in the 17th minute when Brian Harrison pounced on a loose controled ball in the box, he fell to the floor as the defender tried to recover and Ross Hannah stepped up to smash the spot kick into the bottom corner.
Lambe played 60 minutes, but in the 45th minute Lambe sparked an attack when he drove from deep. He shot low and hard and Barrow goalkeeper Joel Dixon was relieved to see it fly an inch wide of his bottom corner.
