NORTH WALES CRUSADERS boss Carl Forster isn’t looking too far ahead in the 1895 Cup, despite the chance of facing former side Barrow in the first round.
The Colwyn Bay team will host the Raiders if they win at Goole in preliminary round two this weekend.
Forster made 39 appearances for Barrow between 2020 and 2022, scoring two tries.
He told CruCast: “With my connections to Barrow I had a little smile when I saw it come out.
“The club are full of good people, so it would be nice to see them again, but I can’t afford to think too much about it. We’ve got a job to do against Goole first.”
