Barrow Raiders are back in action at the Northern Competitions Stadium this Sunday, with Batley Bulldogs the latest visitors to Cumbria in Round 7 of the Betfred Championship. 

The Raiders will seek an immediate response to last week’s heavy defeat at in-form Sheffield Eagles, and they enter the weekend level on points with the Bulldogs after two victories apiece from their opening six fixtures.

Both of the Raiders’ league wins have been on home soil, and they will hope to make it a hat-trick this time around.

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