If he does so, he will emulate his son’s heroics at Keighley last Sunday when he struck the dramatic winner after the final hooter to hand Barrow a memorable 34-32 win over their League One rivals.
Raiders will be looking for a good response for the Hankinson Half-time Challenge during the break in the League One game against Oxford as they celebrate the club’s last-gasp victory over the Cougars.
A signed Barrow rugby ball is up for grabs to anyone who can convert a goal from a similar position to where Hankinson succeeded in West Yorkshire.
Hankinson, who kicked the points from just inside the Keighley half, close to the touchline, is hoping Barrow get a good response from spectators, and said: “Even my dad said he wanted to have a go at it because he said it would be fun if he could, but I don’t think he’ll reach the 10-metre line to be honest!”
The Leigh loan player added: “It’s a bit of fun and it gives people an idea of what it is like with others watching you.
“But I would advise people to bring some boots if it’s going to keep raining.”
