Arriving in Salford chasing a sixth straight win, Barrow carried their recent form into a fiercely contested encounter.
Both sides traded spells of dominance but it was the visitors who ultimately found the decisive score to turn a narrow deficit into a two‑point triumph.
Two late Brad Walker penalties saw Barrow Raiders snatch the win. For the second game running Raiders turned around a half-time deficit to claim the spoils.
First-half
Salford started brightly, turning early pressure into points after a sustained spell inside Barrow territory, with their first score coming following repeat sets on the visitors’ line.
Barrow responded with a well‑constructed try of their own, shifting play to the edge after a strong carry through the middle, before Salford hit back again to ensure the scoreboard reflected the end‑to‑end nature of the opening half.
Second-half
After the break, Barrow began to assert more control in the arm‑wrestle, their forwards consistently driving the team out of yardage and their kicking game pinning Salford deeper for longer spells.
With the game locked within a single score, a crucial Barrow try – converted to nudge them into a 22–20 lead – proved decisive, leaving Salford chasing a late response that ultimately didn’t materialise despite further pressure noted on social media during the closing minutes.
Key moments and reaction
The key turning point came in the final stages when Barrow’s patience in attack was rewarded, their last scoring play nudging them ahead and silencing a frustrated home crowd.
