Barrow Raiders coach Dave Clark has highlighted the impact of his forwards in the 32-12 win against title rivals Oldham on Friday.

Oldham took an early lead in the game but Barrow's strong forward pack helped regain the momentum and launch a second-half blitz on the visitors.

"We told the forwards - this is your game," Clark told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"They say forwards win games and that's what they did today. They were magnificent around the middle."

Barrow go top of National League Two following the win, and were helped by Gateshead's 32-24 defeat at Keighley.
