[The Hallucinating Goose]

Really fantastic effort by Barrow, they've done brilliantly to keep in touch for the whole game and should be really proud of their performance.

And a great interview with the chairman.

Nice to see a chairman who is realistic about where his club is and what they need to do.

[Padge]

Barrow gave that real go, and they were entertaining giving it a go. Enjoyable watch.

[spanishknight]

Hope Barrow can buy a couple of balls out of the gate money, really poor showing on T.V. only having one rugby ball.

[Davo5]

Great effort from Barrow & what a good 2 days it’s been for Cumbrian RL,2 big crowds & 2 gutsy displays against top Superleague opposition.

Barrow 16-30 Huddersfield

Impressive 

[Old Frightful]

Russell was so humble in his interview and absolutely loved him not having an accent from down under.

[DavidM]

Brian Noble saying ‘ the kicks to big ‘ like an Aussie was rather cringing 

[Futtocks]

What with this game and Whitehaven's effort against St Helens, plenty for the region to be proud of this weekend.

[graveyard johnny]

if england lose to the all stars again sack sean wane appoint paul crarey 

[Old Frightful]

And another fantastic interview from the Barrow coach.

Man, I love the Challenge Cup, lord knows why it's not better supported.

A terrific game and terrific weekend, well done to all players and coaches involved.

[jannerboyuk]

Very enjoyable game to have on BBC2 - well played Barrow!

[Damien]

I always really enjoy these really competitive Challenge Cup ties between Suler League sides and lower league opposition. Well done Barrow on a great effort and congratulations to Huddersfield on getting the win.

worth it to see jjb try to pronounce the word numerical

Watched both games here in the Netherlands (int local pub thanks to streaming and BBC being available) .

Busy now with F1 fans but a fair number watched with interest the last ten minutes of the game.

Proud to be an exiled West Cumbrian. 

Haven on The Sportsman attracted around 10,000 online viewers plus just under 5000 on the gate. 

Barrow live on BBC2 I guess got good viewing figures.

All in all a great weekend for Cumbrian RL. 

Haven and Barra

Hell, just that word in particular?

[Mumby Magic]

But Hudds have coughed the ball up with several unforced errors in the last few sets.

You have to feel that Barrow's chance has now gone but they've more than played their part in a terrific contest.

Shame, it must be forty odd years since I've been to Barrow.

You can always visit when Hull ain’t playing & put a few quid over the bar

[mickmike wilson]

Well done Barrow, Bit better decision making & a few Ref calls & we just might have scraped a win today.

 

At least we have Won friends & Influenced people

You seem to be stereotyping me as some kind of boozer.

Good call.

After a good contest that’s your only comment. So you think that Barrow only have one rugby ball ? Only thing poor is your opinion.

Mick not by some of the doom and gloom merchants who hate the positives of this weekend 

Guess that's the game.

Enjoyed my short spell under Frank Foster and was proud of the guys performance today. 

Both games this weekend showed Cumbrian RL in  good health.
