Attention returns to the 1895 Cup this weekend for Barrow Raiders as they get set to visit Wakefield Trinity in the quarter-finals of the competition.

It will also be a final chance for head coach Paul Crarey to see his players in competitive action before their Betfred Championship season begins on Sunday 17 March.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
