The three points lifts the Exiles to 19th in the table, seven points above the bottom two and only a point behind Barrow in 18th.
"It was definitely not our best performance but sometimes you have to win ugly with fighting spirit," said Jardim.
"It was a good win for everyone at the club, especially for the players after the effort they have been putting in." uneventful In an hour, Cameron first Evans conceded a freekick in having a clearance blocked, but Kian Spence's shot wide with the impressive Nick Townsend having it covered.
The Exiles struggled to get a foothold in the game and were kept at bay by the Cumbrians.
