Found both of these on team talk this morning :-
Accrington suffered a 2-1 friendly defeat against newly-promoted Blue Square Premier side Barrow on Saturday.
In what was Stanley's final away game of their pre-season campaign, the Reds struggled against a pacey Bluebird's attacking line which scored two before the half-time break.
Former Reds' striker Jason Walker netted twice before Stanley midfielder Ian Craney pulled one back late in the second half, the goal coming too late to have any effect on the final result.
John Coleman's men face a tough final friendly against Everton at the Fraser Eagle Stadium on Wednesday before kicking off the new season against Aldershot on August 9.

Aldershot manager Gary Waddock insists his side have ``something to prove'' when they kick off their League Two campaign against Accrington next weekend.
The Shots won promotion back to the Football League last season after 16 years of non-league football, and are set to reacquaint themselves with former non-league opponents Stanley on the opening day of the new season.
Following their 2-0 friendly victory against a Charlton XI on Saturday, Waddock told the club's official website: ``Our pre-season is now over.
``The results of the previous few weeks have won us nothing and we will now focus fully on preparing for our trip to Accrington next Saturday.
``Some of us, me included, feel we have something to prove following setbacks in our previous careers.''
Teamtalk has something on nearly every day stanley wise, I quite like it.
