PREVIEW | Trip to Barrow in playoffs on Saturday!

09/09/2026

We head to Barrow Raiders this coming Sunday in the second round of the playoffs, the Betfred Championship Playoff Eliminator Final (3pm KO).

The Eagles booked their place in the next round of the playoffs at the weekend, coming from behind to defeat Batley Bulldogs 25-18 at the MEPS International Home of Football Stadium.

Barrow, meanwhile, will head this weekend’s clash with a second chance to keep their playoff campaign alive following a 72-0 defeat away at Doncaster last time out.

That means the stakes could not be higher for both sides: lose on Sunday and the season is over.

Sunday’s clash will be the third meeting between the two sides this season. The Eagles came out on top in the first encounter back in February, before Barrow edged a closely fought contest 18-16 in Cumbria in June.

Take a look below at everything you need to know ahead of the Eagles’ trip to the Speed Competitions Stadium.
