Corrigan went on a run down the left and delivered a cross which Nico Dunlop squeezed in at the near post.
The second half began with Barn looking for an equaliser and the pressure told when Barn got back on level terms 10 mins into the half.
Waveney still kept pressing forward and came close when Jackson struck the bar from outside the box. Then for the first time in the game Waveney found themselves behind as Barn scored with just 10 mins left.
