It was doubles all round in Harlequins' 14-try romp past National League Two Barrow in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup at the Twickenham Stoop. Pat Weisner, Chad Randall, Luke Dorn, Michael Worrincy and Tim Hartley all grabbed a brace for Quins. The London side's other scores came from Joe Mbu, Matthew Gafa, Nick Bradley-Qalilawa and Robert Purdham, who also kicked 12 goals. Barrow scored two tries, with James Nixon and James Finch crossing.
Harlequins coach Tony Rea:
"The guys are bouncing in the changing rooms. "We showed the opposition respect and earned their respect back. The scoreboard looked after itself after that. "It was good for our youngsters to get a run-out. They may not have faced Super League opposition, but they had Super League players around them. "Purdham was good all round. It wasn't just his points scoring - all of his touches were really strong." Barrow boss Paul Crarey:
"There's a massive gap between Super League and League Two and today showed that. We've got a lot of young guys and it was tough for them. "For us to win, Quins would have had to play really badly and we would have had to hit our straps from the start and that didn't happen. "It was a game too far for us. We'll throw away the tape and look forward. "The Challenge Cup is a magical thing and we enjoyed the day. We're not going to beat ourselves up over it."
