Barrow Raiders are back on home soil this Sunday as they prepare to welcome York Knights to the Northern Competitions Stadium in the Betfred Championship.

The Raiders will look to win three consecutive competitive matches for the first time since the 2022 season after recording stunning victories against Oldham and, most recently, Bradford Bulls, with Paul Crarey’s men emerging triumphant at Odsal 18-8.

Despite their excellent start to the 2025 league campaign, the Raiders will be well aware of the threat posed by this weekend’s visitors, with York looking to kickstart their season after picking up their first two competition points last time out.

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