Barrow Raiders will enjoy their second successive Cumbrian derby this Sunday as they prepare to visit Whitehaven in the group stages of the 1895 Cup.
The Raiders top their group so far, thanks to last week’s 30-8 victory at Workington Town. Another win on the road this time around would secure safe passage to the knockout stages of the competition.
It will also be the first time the two local rivals have met since Ryan Johnston’s last-gasp drop-goal earned the Raiders a 23-22 win at the end of the 2023 Betfred Championship season.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
