On the 1st bitterly cold evening of the winter 357 spectators braved the elements to see The Hatters who dominated from the off pegging Rovers into their own half.

Barton Rovers topped off a great week for the club on Saturday with a narrow 1-0 victory at Aylesbury United to make it eight league games unbeaten.
