PAST TIMES: Gillingham

Barnet have previously met 9 times in the league, each club winning three times with three matches being drawn. The two sides first met in the 1991-92 season following Barnet's promotion from the Conference. Barnet won 2-0 at home, with goals from Mark Carter and Derek Payne and the game at the Priestfield ended in a 3-3 draw, Paul Wilson, Gary Bull and Kenny Lowe scoring. The following season, 92-93, Barnet again won 2-0 at home. Both goals were own goals, one of them being scored by current Bee, Gary Breen. The away fixture was drawn 1-1, Mark Carter scoring. At the end of the season Barnet were promoted, but came back down the following season and the fixture resumed in 1994-95, when Barnet won at Underhill 1-0, Dougie Freedman scoring the Barnet goal, while Gillingham won their first league match between the two sides, 2-1. The last season that the two sides met in the league was 1995-96, after which Gillingham were promoted. The Gills did the double over Barnet that season winning 2-0 at Underhill, their only win so far at Barnet and then won 1-0 at the Priestfield Stadium.

Earlier this season, the two sides met at Underhill and the game ended in a 2-2 draw with Barnet's goals coming from Michael Leary and John O'Flynn.

The last time that Barnet and Gillingham played each other in the FA Cup was last season when they met in the 1^st round of the FA Cup. Barnet old boys, Simon King and Barry Cogan returned to Underhill with the Bees. Barnet went through to the second round after a fine 2-1 win, having been a goal down at half time after the Gills went ahead through David Graham. Ismail Yakubu equalised just past the hour following a Josh Wright free kick and then two minutes later, Liam Hatch scored the winner with a fine header following a superb Kenny Gillet cross. The Barnet team that day was, Harrison; Devera, Burton, Yakubu, Gillet; Carew, Bishop, Wright (Leary), Puncheon; Hatch, Birchall (Nicolau).

The previous cup meeting between the two sides had been back in 1947 when Barnet travelled to Gillingham for a 4^th qualifying round match and went down 3-1 with Ron Phipps scoring the Barnet goal.

In 2005, the two sides met in a pre-season friendly at the Priestfield Stadium and Gillingham won 3-0.
