Barrow Raiders’ impressive performance

Barrow Raiders turned in an impressive performance last night as they won 36-12 in their Championship clash at Doncaster.

They had led 18-12 at half-time and went on to double their own tally without conceding another point.

The Raiders went in front after only eight minutes when a high ball on last tackle had Doncaster scrambling to deal with it.

The ball was fumbled and Joe Bullock took full advantage by picking up and charging over from 10 yards. Brad Walker converted.

That early advantage was doubled after 16 minutes when some flowing rugby, with the ball going through several pairs of hands ended with Curtis Teare going over for the try and again Walker landed the extras.

Doncaster didn’t make serious inroads until the 23rd minute when Barrow were opened up down the middle and Connor Jones went in for the try which was converted by Robinson.

When the Dons drew level six minutes before half-time it looked as though they had got to grips with the game.

Some excellent play from the hosts, with several classy off-loads saw Louis McConnell go in for the try which Robinson converted.

But Barrow answered that strong Doncaster spell with the final score of the half.

After good build-up play, with Finn Dutton-Rosconie heavily involved, it was Walker who finished off with a jink and a touchdown, going on to add the conversion.

The first score of the second-half was going to be massive and it went Barrow’s way on 54 minutes when a great break from Shane Toal put them into a strong attacking position.

Ellis Robson made sure he was with Toal to take the final pass and score under the posts for Walker to convert.

Although the impressive Dutton-Rosconie had to go off for a head injury assessment he was soon back in the action on his return, scoring Barrow’s sixth try on 66 minutes.

He dived in from a close-range play-the-ball and Walker converted.

The final try of the game came a minute from the end when Bullock put in a typically aggressive charge and Alex Bishop was on hand to take the pass, spin out of a tackle and touchdown.

Walker was six from six with the subsequent kick.
