Barnsley & Millers quiz question

[Nardendee]

Given that it is Derby weekend, although let’s hope not (excuse the double meaning)

Given I mentioned a third team, I thought I might ask a question where over a weekend in the past ( in my lifetime-born 1957) both Rotherham & Barnsley were involved in bizarre games which resulted in the match report the following Monday, saying that one team won but that same team lost?

Any guesses what I am talking about?

Nope.

Is this something do with a player called Barnsley?

Or we were playing in some form of 3 way tournament?
