Barrow Raiders boss Dave Clark believes their home tie with Wakefield in the Challenge Cup fifth round will give his players and the fans a big boost.

"It's important for us and important for our supporters that it's a home draw," he told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"We've got fantastic support locally and we wanted to reward them with the chance to watch a Super League side.

"We'll go out there, look to compete as much as we can and hopefully we'll get a good result from our behalf."

Clark was also able to confirm the arrival of full-back Craig Bower on a four week trial as Barrow look to strengthen their squad.

"Craig has come from Thurston last year and Rochdale at the beginning of the year, and he'll help us out in that full-back position," he said.

"He's here and it's important we get him involved. We've been trying to fill that position and noone has been able to fill it so I hope he can fill in."
