It was an emphatic return to winning form for Barrow Raiders when they proved too strong for Newcastle Thunder in the North East.
They were back to winning ways after defeat by League leaders Leigh and it lifted them to fourth in the table.
Eleven tries were scored and the south Cumbrians scored 34 unanswered second-half points on their way to the 62-10 victory.
All this after the home side had opened the scoring on four minutes with a converted try.
But by the 14th minute Barrow had crossed twice through Jarrod Sammut and Jake Carter, with one conversion by Ryan Shaw.
The Raiders then added a third try three minutes later when Jarrad Stack got on the end of a kick from Sammut to the corner. The conversion by Shaw was his 500th career goal.

Barrow continued to dominate and on 22 minutes they scored again with a fine solo effort from Ryan Johnston to go under the sticks and give Shaw an easy conversion for number 501.
The visitors virtually had the game won on 27 minutes when Anton Iaria crashed over for the fifth try, again converted by Shaw.
An unconverted try before the break for Newcastle did not seriously hint at a come-back.
Indeed Barrow kept a clean sheet in the second-half and scored freely with Danny Langtree opening the try feast five minutes after the resumption.
Leading try scorer Tee Ritson then took centre stage with two tries inside four minutes before Shane Toal, Shaw and Ellis Gillam all crossed before the final hooter. Shaw finished with nine conversions.
