Barrow Raiders are back on home soil this Sunday as they welcome Bradford Bulls to the Northern Competitions Stadium in Round 18 of the Betfred Championship.

The Raiders have seen an improvement in their most recent outings, beating Sheffield Eagles before running Doncaster close in a narrow 37-30 defeat at the Eco-Power Stadium last weekend.

Standing in their way this Sunday is Bradford Bulls who currently sit 4th place in the table, and they will be looking to solidify their spot in the playoffs by completing the double over Paul Crarey’s men after their recent 36-24 victory at Odsal in June.

Prior to this clash, Barrow Ladies will take to the stage against the current Women’s Super League Leaders and Challenge Cup winners St Helens, which kicks off the first of two thrilling clashes at the Northern Competitions Stadium.

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