Barrow Raiders ended their pre-season programme with a 74-6 win over Scotland Bravehearts.
It was a special testimonial game for Barrow’s long-serving winger Shane Toal and he enjoyed his afternoon with two tries.
The Raiders led 44-0 at half-time with the first try coming on six minutes from Robson and they then flowed at regular intervals.
Toal scored his first soon after when he went over and Brad Walker added his second conversion to double the lead.
On 13 minutes it became 18-0 as Luke Broadbent went in at the corner and Walker landed a fine touchline conversion.
Toal became the provider on 17 minutes when he put Tee Ritson over for the fourth try and Walker put over the fourth conversion.
On 22 minutes Ryan Johnson strolled over for a try and this time Broadbent added the extras.
Broadbent was then over again in the corner, this time following a long run from Toal and clever handling and passing from Richards.
On the half hour Ellis Archer broke through the Scotland defence and sent in Toal for his second try. Archer converted.
Right on half-time Barrow scored again with Andrew Bulman showing great footwork to make the line with Archer adding the extras.
It was Scotland who got the first try of the second-half on 54 minutes after Jacob Grierson broke the Raiders defence to touch down and Jordan Duncan converted.
However it was business as usual on 64 minutes when Ritson set up Luke Cresswell, with Archer putting over the conversion.
Three minutes later Cresswell returned the favour when he put Archer over for a try and then a conversion.
Ritson (71), Knott (73), and Cresswell (78) scored in a biog finish by the Raiders with Archer converting all three.
