Barrow boosted their survival hopes with a comfortable win at fellow Blue Square Premier strugglers Weymouth, despite having Lee McEvilly sent off.

It was the ninth straight defeat for the home side and a first win on the road since October for the visitors.

Mark Boyd fired home from 20 yards to open the scoring and Paul Jones was on hand to convert Andrew Bond's cross.

McEvilly was dismissed after picking up two yellow cards, but Jones headed in from a corner to seal the victory.
