Barrow forward Innes Cameron believes a tough week on the training ground was the key to their last-gasp salvage job away at Harrogate Town.

The Bluebirds twice came from behind to draw, including Cameron's goal in the 96th minute, to register their first point of the season.

It came on the back of losses to Hartlepool United and Hornchurch in their previous two matches on their return to the National League following relegation.

And the home defeat at the hands of promoted Hornchurch had manager Adam Murray working his new-look squad hard, according to the Scot.

"We went down twice and came back so it showed good mentality in the team, something we probably needed," Cameron told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"After last week, we got a battering through the week from the gaffer, but that's probably what was needed."

Cameron joined Barrow last summer, but after a disappointing first half of the season in which he scored only once in 18 games, he was sent to Raith Rovers on loan in January.

He scored seven in 11 games north of the border and has already netted twice in three matches this season.

Now he wants to take the momentum from that goal at Harrogate into their next match - at home to Yeovil Town on Friday - and beyond.

"We need to take it into the rest of the season," he said.

"The first two games we didn't get the rub of the green, but we managed to battle and got the rub of the green."
