Barrow Raiders cruise to Super 8s victory against Rochdale
Brad Brennan touched down twice as Barrow Raiders kicked off their Kingstone Press League 1 Super 8s campaign with a 34-12 win over Rochdale Hornets.
The Hornets, who finished the regular season in second place, were on the back foot immediately as Ryan Fieldhouse scored out wide, while tries from Brennan and Jamie Dallimore earned a 16-6 half-time lead, after Danny Yates hit back for the visitors.
Despite having a man sent off for dangerous play the Raiders ran riot after the break, with Joe Bullock, Chris Fleming and Brennan securing a comfortable win despite Kevin Penny\'s late consolation.
