Barrow Raiders are back on home soil this Sunday as they welcome Widnes Vikings to the Northern Competitions Stadium in Round 22 of the Betfred Championship.

Last Sunday’s 44-30 loss at Oldham was the Raiders’ fourth consecutive defeat in the league, with their last victory coming one month ago at home to Batley Bulldogs.

This weekend, they face a Widnes Vikings side who sit one point below them in ninth place. Paul Crarey’s side will be keen to complete a double over the Merseyside outfit following their 37-12 victory at the DCBL Stadium in April.

The fixture will form the latter part of a double-header at the Northern Competitions Stadium on Sunday, as Barrow Ladies take to the stage against Leeds Rhinos at 12pm.

Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
