Barrow Raiders make the trip to South Yorkshire this Saturday to face Sheffield Eagles in Round 4 of the Betfred Championship.
The Raiders continued their unbeaten league start with a fantastic 30-0 victory away at Cumbrian rivals Whitehaven last weekend.
With three wins from three, Paul Crarey’s men sit at the top of the table level on points with Rochdale Hornets and Dewsbury Rams, albeit boasting a superior points difference.
This weekend, they travel to the Steel City Stadium to take on Sheffield Eagles. The two sides last met on the final day of the 2025 campaign, with the Raiders ending the season empty-handed, following a 26-12 defeat.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
