Got to disagree strongly with any resting of players - it won't be happening.

This is our cup final this weekend. It is only a few weeks since we matched Huddersfield in the Challenge cup.

Admittedly we are big underdogs but that will make victory even sweeter should the slim chance occur

No-one will remember in 10 years if we finish 6th, 7th , 8th , 9th or 10th

But making a major cup final (for lower league teams) will be part of the club's history

 

 

 

 

This is from the Chairman's own hand. He's done a fantastic job so far and hopefully this is our day in the sun. ( a rarity in Barrow ).

I doubt we'll win (then again, you never know in a cup tie!) but it's pleasing to be in a money spinning semi final: I'm fairly confident Featherstone will bring more fans up here than Huddersfield managed (around 50, if that). 

Oh and bring your flat caps, lads. The weather's set fair for once.

Would have loved to have played Barrow in the final,rekindle memories of 1967.

Fev by 26

Can't see anything other than a 30 point win for Featherstone, too big too fast too strong and experienced, they have the team their money has paid hansomely for. But there again its a one off semi final at home and I could be proven wrong and it could be a tighter game.

Fully expected Saints and Hkr today.

Exactly if we go on with less than 100% right attitude we will get turned over

There's a massive difference between part time injury depleted Barrow and a full strength star studded Featherstone than there is  between Wigan and Saints mate. Wigan have been flying lately too. 

But again shocks can happen in cup games.

Wm Hills have fev -24

We know more then most ,Wembley 83 NO CHANCE but won.

A month ago this would have been a really tricky game for Fev, now it's only a 'slightly' tricky one.

Just nipped to b&q in barrow great to see plenty of fev fans about.

Looking for something to do when the 1895 Cup is on.  

[The Phantom Horseman]

The OurLeague camerawork/ production is such a let-down again unfortunately. Zoomed out much too far making it difficult to see whats happening. Extremely frustrating.

[The Phantom Horseman]

0-16 half time. Fev workmanlike and a few more handling errors than usual but well in control. Ritson again looking dangerous for Barrow but more needed from them in 2nd half.

[Futtocks]

Barrow 0:16 Featherstone at HT

[Bearman]

Fev are brilliant. Difference class.

Good luck in the final
