The Saddlers welcomed Barrow to Poundland Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they looked to end a run of draws that had already stretched to six league games.
The first and only goal of the game arrived midway through the first half as Billy Waters slotted home after the Walsall defence failed to react following Ben Whitfield's deflected effort.
