Barrow Raiders’ Betfred Championship campaign begins this Sunday with a trip to Widnes Vikings.
After weeks of action in cup competition, full focus now shifts to league matters as the new season gets underway this weekend for all 14 teams in the division.
Both meetings last season proved to be closely-fought affairs, and Paul Crarey’s side are no strangers to victory at the DCBL Stadium, having produced an impressive display to down the Vikings 34-24 back in 2022.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
