Attention turns back to league action this Sunday as Barrow Raiders make the trip to Widnes Vikings in Round 6 of the Betfred Championship.
Paul Crarey’s side come into this fixture on the back of a battling 38-24 defeat away at Oldham in the 1895 Cup quarter-final last weekend.
Despite making a strong start to their league campaign thus far, the Raiders will be keen to end their two-game losing streak, after their last bout in the Championship ended in a disappointing 36-12 defeat at home to York Knights. Standing in their way this Sunday is a strong Vikings outfit who have picked up three wins from their opening four league outings.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
