After a short break, Barrow Raiders are back in action this Sunday as they host Sheffield Eagles at the Northern Competitions Stadium in Round 13 of the Betfred Championship.

The Raiders fell to a 30-12 defeat at the hands of Featherstone Rovers last time out, their second successive defeat after coming away from Toulouse Olympique empty-handed.

Paul Crarey will be expecting a response from his side, who have displayed some excellent performances so far this season. Standing in their way this weekend is a Sheffield Eagles side eager to kick-start their campaign after an indifferent start to proceedings.

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