Barrow Raiders have announced a special edition of their kit to mark four decades since their last major trophy.

On October 1, 1983, the rugby league team were triumphant in the Lancashire Cup Final against Widnes.

In celebration of the anniversary, the club are releasing replica editions of the shirts worn by the players during that match.

A spokesperson for the club said: "At Barrow Raiders, we are very proud of the history and heritage of our club.

"The shirts will stand the test of time and can be worn season after season, celebrating a wonderful time in our history."

The shirt will exactly mirror the one worn by the likes of Dave Cairns, who was named man of the match in the final played at Central Park in Wigan.

There is no deadline to order the replica shirts, but the club has advised supporters to secure theirs as early as possible before stock runs out.

The kit will go alongside the larger 'retro range' that is currently being sold, promoting that successful period in the club's storied history.

Back in 1983, Barrow Raiders got past Whitehaven RLFC and Salford Red Devils before edging past Warrington Wolves to make it to the final.

On the Saturday at the very start of October, over 7000 people crammed into the stadium to watch Barrow win what has turned out to be their most recent major success.

Ralph McConnell with a try, Ian Ball with three goals and a drop goal, and Steve Tickle with a drop goal helped the Raiders get over the line.

And fans now have the chance to walk around feeling just like those players, with the replica shirts costing £50 and available here.
