The players would have arrived back in Devon late on Saturday. They would probably have had a light training session on Sunday and then proper training/preparation on Monday for Barrow at the Cliff. They spend the day travelling on Tuesday, probably with a sizeable break or two on the way to really stretch legs and then stop over in Barrow and travel back Wednesday having had a decent night's kip/recovery.
By travelling on Monday they wouldn't have had that proper training session/preperation on Monday and they would have spent Tuesday day kicking around the hotel, bored. By travelling back immediately after the game they would have arrived home in the early hours of Wednesday knackered.
Makes sense to me.
