Jon Shaw's second-half strike denied Forest Green Rovers their first win of the season.

The visitors seized the initiative in the second half when Sean Rigg turned in a Steve Davies cross.

But the lead lasted just four minutes as Shaw drew Barrow level, drilling a shot home from Nick Rogan's knock-down.

A Davies lob almost restored Rovers' advantage before Carlos Logan went close to sealing the win for Barrow but he fired wide from Mark Boyd's corner.
