Barrow Raiders gear up for a day of celebrations at the Northern Competitions Stadium this Sunday, with the men’s Betfred Championship Round 9 fixture forming the latter part of a double-header against Featherstone Rovers.
The Raiders come into this fixture fresh from their trip to the south of France last Saturday, where they were beaten 38-16 by Toulouse Olympique despite a battling performance from Paul Crarey’s side.
This weekend, the Raiders will host Featherstone Rovers twice as part of a double-header against the West Yorkshire outfit, with the women taking to the field prior to the men’s fixture.
With the clashes against the Rovers falling on the same day, the club have decided to celebrate the history and heritage of Barrow Raiders by inviting every single player, coach or board member who has ever represented the club to come along, free of charge.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
