First-half goals from Danny Collinge and Callum Stead helped Barnet to an excellent 2-0 win at seventh-placed Halifax.

In a match which could be a dress rehearsal for the National League play-offs, Barnet took control from the off with Collinge scoring after only 10 minutes.

Just three minutes later, Stead doubled the visitors' advantage and - although he was forced off later in the first half - Dean Brennan's men withstood a second-half rally by the hosts to earn an impressive three points.

Play-off hopefuls Halifax attempted to reduce the deficit in the second period but Tottenham loanee Josh Keeley made a number of fine stops to help the second-placed Bees to another win.
