  "account": "Barrow manager Adam Murray is downplaying the significance of his team's upcoming FA Cup match against Kidderminster Harriers. The two clubs face each other in the second round of the competition, after both made impressive runs in the first round. The Bluebirds secured a 1-0 victory over League Two side Gillingham, while Harriers triumphed 3-0 against third-tier Doncaster Rovers, resulting in the only all non-league tie in round two.\n\nMurray led Kidderminster to promotion from National League North last season before departing to become Barrow's manager. He made a surprise return to Aggborough for a league match in August, which ended in a 1-1 draw filled with eight bookings. When asked about the draw, Murray expressed indifference, stating that the important aspect for Barrow is playing at home against a team of their own level. The tie provides an opportunity for Barrow to advance to the next round, as they haven't reached the third round since 2022.",
