Barrow Raiders will enjoy their first taste of competitive action this year on Sunday, with the group stages of the 1895 Cup kicking off with a trip to Workington Town.
It will be the first time the two sides have met competitively since June 2022, having been paired together in the group stages of the competition alongside Whitehaven.
The Raiders will hope to get their cup campaign off to a winning start against Betfred League 1 opposition, with only the top side in each group guaranteed to advance to the knockout stages.
It will also provide an opportunity for supporters to see a number of the club’s off-season recruits in competitive action for the first time.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
