Barrow Raiders will go in search of a fourth-consecutive league victory on Sunday as they make the trip to Batley Bulldogs in Round 9 of the Betfred Championship.
The Raiders bounced back emphatically from their 1895 Cup exit at the hands of Oldham at the start of April, picking up a maximum of six points after wins against Widnes Vikings, London Broncos and Doncaster, which has propelled them up to second in the standings.
After recording three straight league wins for the first time since 2022, Paul Crarey’s side will journey to West Yorkshire this weekend to face a Batley Bulldogs side who will be aiming to kick-start their season after picking up just two wins from their opening seven games.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
