Barrow Raiders vs Halifax RLFC

300 Halifax supporters have made the trip up.

Certainly doesn't look or sound like there's 30 let alone 300 'fax fans at the game.

Maybe there were all drinking in the same pub then to give the latters impression

Half-Time

Barrow Raiders 0-24 Halifax RLFC

Barrow have been poor with Rooney being just as bad as the non existent defence.

Halifax heading for second spot.

Barrow Raiders 4-24 Halifax RLFC after 42:00 minutes.

Try: Rooney

Stunning 70m effort starting from the pick up from Ballard, before the ball is shipped out wide to Jamie Rooney who has too much toe for Halifax defence.

Just the start that they needed.

Instant reply from the West Yorkshire side after some hot potatoe Rugby League, it's like there still at the 9's tournament, which they won last week beating Sheffield sixteen points to four.

Try: Ostler

I can't describe what I'm watching because I don't think I've ever seen a game like this in over twenty years of watching the greatest game.

Barrow are on fire, scoring at will and have scored three tries in five minutes.

Keal Karlile with a one on one strip on Shad Royston but from the resulting possession Halifax get the ball back for the first time in nine minutes after Barrow drop the ball.

Barrow Raiders 24-30 Halifax RLFC after 58:00 minutes.

Robert Worrincy goes 70m to the Barrow line but the try won't count as the pass has been ruled forward by referee Laughton.

Massive call.

Result

Barrow Raiders 34-42 Halifax RLFC

What a game of Rugby League that was, with both sides going for it in the second half.

Credit to Barrow who at 24-0 could have been forgiven for wanting full time, but they came out and pushed Halifax all the way.

Halifax go above Leigh into second place and as I've said all season long, the Grand Final will be Halifax vs Featherstone.
