Barrow Raiders kick off their 1895 Cup campaign this Sunday with a trip to the capital to take on London Broncos.
The Raiders come into the preliminary round of the competition on the back of a 20-8 victory away at Dewsbury Rams in Round 6 of the Betfred Championship last weekend.
They now face arguably their toughest challenge to date this season, with the Broncos firing on all cylinders after a flawless start to their league campaign, which has seen them post 301 points, whilst conceding just 48 points in their five wins so far.
Sunday’s fixture, which will be played at the Richmond Athletic Ground, will be the first meeting with London since August 2025, when Paul Crarey’s men put on a valiant display in an 18-10 defeat at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
