Match Preview | Barrow Raiders away this Sunday!

16/07/2024

Sheffield Eagles are back on the road this Sunday as we face a trip to Cumbria to take on Barrow Raiders (3pm KO).

The Eagles will be looking to bounce back to winning ways following a 22-34 defeat at home to Swinton Lions last weekend.

Mark Aston’s men have already faced the Raiders once this season, which resulted in a 54-0 victory for the Eagles back in April’s reverse league fixture at Olympic Legacy Park.

Barrow will also look to return to winning ways themselves having been beaten 22-2 on the road last Sunday at Batley Bulldogs.
