Barrow Raiders face a tough challenge this Sunday as 1895 Cup winners and league leaders Wakefield Trinity visit the Northern Competitions Stadium in Round 13 of the Betfred Championship.
The Raiders will be bolstered by last weekend’s 24-10 triumph away at Swinton Lions, a win that saw them move up to 10th in the table.
Standing in their way this weekend is the indomitable Wakefield Trinity who are yet to be defeated in the league this season, and Paul Crarey’s side is more than aware of the threat they pose after they suffered a 30-12 loss to the West Yorkshire side in the 1895 Cup quarter-final in March.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
