Massive game for both sides. Whitehaven win probably sees them safe.

Barrow need to win to gain ground over Swinton and Keighley.

Tough ask for Barrow with all the missing players

I remember seeing a clip of the crowd trouble at Barrow over the Easter period. It didn’t look good but i haven’t a clue who was to blame, but id imagine people having too much to drink could’ve been one of the causes.

It was the young coked up and drunk haven fans. Majority of haven fans are sound good banter.

Barrow fans weren't blameless in the incident 

[Neutralfan7]

Big game for both sides, barrow saying about them missing players but Haven also missing players, makes it an even game for me but I'll go Haven 14 - 8 Barrow.

Is nobody watching this game, you are missing a treat a good old fashioned game nothing asked or given, and the last try would grace any highlights programme from State of Origin, NRL or SL.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Suspect a very small TV audience for this game hence no comments to date. Haven 14 Barrow 10 at ht, highlight an amazing piece of skill including a no-look reverse pass from Jamie Doran to create a try.

Listening to it on Radio Cumbria online. Sounds like a fantastic match.

I'm biased but I feel every 50/50 has gone against Barrow.

End to end both teams giving everything.

[The Blues Ox]

Totally didn't realise it were on, just watching the last 5 now.

[Harry Stottle]

Wonderful entertainment on a Monday night.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Cracking game, Barrow win it with a late drop goal. Feel for Doran whose ambitious chip in his own half was collected by Barrow and led to the winning score.

[Masters 13]

Cumbria rugby league at its best. Great advent for the game. 

[Jarc]

Get in!! This squad has been up against it for weeks and weeks with injuries, players leaving due to personal reasons, Wigan have recalled 3 of their replacements we had on loan in the last couple of weeks, pulled in local amateurs to help etc.and they’ve gone and claimed 2 massive wins in Cumbrian derby and away at Bradford in their last 2 away trips. This is why we love the sport.
