Match Preview | A trip to Cumbria this Sunday to face Barrow!

12/06/2025

Sheffield Eagles make the trip to Cumbria on Sunday afternoon as they take on Barrow Raiders in Round 13 of the Betfred Championship. 

We’ve reached the halfway point of the league season, with thirteen weeks completed, and Craig Lingard will be hoping his side can begin the second half with a win on the road after a disappointing defeat last time out against York Knights

The Eagles currently sit in the bottom four in the Championship league table, but with a seven-point gap between ourselves and Barrow, who currently occupy the final playoff spot, this weekend presents a big opportunity to begin closing the gap and building momentum.
