Barrow Raiders welcome Widnes Vikings to the Northern Competitions Stadium on Sunday in the final fixture of the Betfred Championship regular season.
The Raiders go into this fixture knowing that a win would secure safety in the Championship for next year, with Paul Crarey’s men sitting one point above Swinton Lions who occupy the relegation playoff position in 12th.
However, it’s shaping up to be yet another tough test for Barrow as the Vikings will be aiming for a crucial two points in their bid to push into the top six, and subsequently, a spot in the playoffs come October.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
