Match Preview

Trio's absence stings Bees Barnet boss Lawrie Sanchez is still without three first-team players for the visit of Port Vale. Striker Steve Kabba is continuing his recovery from a summer knee operation and is about a fortnight away from returning to action. Defensive duo Darren Dennehy and Daniel Leach, who missed most of last season with foot injuries, suffered setbacks during pre-season and remain on the sidelines. But Sanchez has no new injury worries and could stick with the side which shocked Championship Portsmouth 1-0 in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night. Sanchez made one change for the trip to Fratton Park with fit-again Tommy Fraser (foot) replacing Sam Deering in midfield. The Bees beat Vale at Underhill on a dramatic final day of last season to avoid relegation. Captain Marc Richards could return to the Port Vale squad. The striker was forced off after an hour of the opening League Two fixture against last season's Conference champions Crawley with an ankle injury and missed the Carling Cup defeat to Huddersfield in midweek. He has had an injection in the hope of aiding his recovery in time for the trip to north London. Should Richards be fit enough to start, Sean Rigg could play out wide again. Chris Martin played in goal against Huddersfield but Stuart Tomlinson is likely to reclaim the number one jersey at Underhill. Defender Gareth Owen, midfielders Robert Taylor and Lewis Haldane and strikers Clayton McDonald, Louis Dodds and Ben Williamson are all options for manager Micky Adams should he wish to make further changes.

Match Report

Rigg at the double for Vale Sean Rigg bagged a double as Port Vale got their first victory of the season with a comfortable 3-1 win over Barnet at Underhill. After a sluggish start from both sides, the visitors were the quicker to settle and went close with efforts from Doug Loft and Adam Yates. It was no surprise when they took the lead in the 27th minutes thanks to a thumping 25-yard strike from Rigg which flew into the top corner. And ten minutes later Port Vale doubled their advantage as Gary Roberts turned Bees defender Anwar Uddin inside out on the left of the penalty area before lashing high into the far corner for his second goal of the season. Barnet started the second half brightly but it was to no avail as Rigg fired home his second with a low drive from the edge of the box just shy of the hour to put the result beyond doubt. Jason Price grabbed a consolation for the Bees with a close range header for his first goal since signing from Carlisle.
