1895 Cup: Wakefield Trinity v Barrow Raiders LIVE

The road so far in the 1895 Cup has seen Wakefield travel to York, which they won 40-4, before making the short trip to Featherstone where they faced Newcastle, which they won 110-0.

In those four games Trinity have crossed over for a staggering 51 tries. That's a try, on average, every 6.27 minutes! How many will they get today?

What a start Wakefield have made to 2024 following their relegation from Super League. Four games, two in the 1895 Cup and two in the Challenge Cup, and four big wins. Another win today will see them just a mere 80 minutes away from a Wembley final.

And this is how Barrow line up:

Cresswell, Shaw, Costello, Toal, Anderson-Moore, B Walker, Johnston, T Walker, Wood, Silva, Clarke, Emslie, Wilkinson

Interchanges: Smith, Makin, Burke, Bedward

Daryl Powell makes two changes to the 17 which comprehensively beat Hunslet ARLFC in the Challenge Cup last weekend with Mathieu Cozza and Noah Booth coming in and Jack Croft and Toby Boothroyd going out.

This is how Trinity line up this afternoon:

Jowitt, Franco, Griffin, Pratt, Walmsley, Lawford, Gale, Bowden, Hood, Atoni, Ashurst, Vagana, Pitts

Interchanges: Uele, Cozza, Smith, Booth

We are 25 minutes away from our 3pm kick off time. Team news is on the way.

Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog of Wakefield Trinity's 1895 Cup quarter final tie at home to Barrow Raiders.
