Barnet keeper thrilled with cup win

Barnet goalkeeper Rob Beckwith has expressed his delight after helping to seal victory over Swindon in the FA Cup on Tuesday. The third round replay at Underhill finished 1-1 after extra-time and Barnet won 2-0 on penalties to set up a home tie with Bristol Rovers. Beckwith had little to do as Swindon's first three penalty takers all missed the target, but he made a fine save from Miguel Comminges to clinch the shoot-out success. "I'm normally good at penalties and there's not really any pressure on goalkeepers," Beckwith told Sky Sports News. "We were under a lot of pressure towards the end of the game so it was nice to get to penalties and we thought we had a chance. "It was great to actually save one. I don't know if I'd have been a hero if they'd missed all four. "We don't really practice penalties. We had five penalties on Monday before the game and I didn't save one." Barnet are currently in the bottom half of the League Two table but Beckwith is hopeful of pushing upwards. He added: "We've still got a few games in hand so hopefully we can win them and get back on track - start looking up."
