Barrow Raiders will welcome North Wales Crusaders to the Matt Johnson Prestige Stadium for a pre-season friendly in the new year.
The fixture takes place on Saturday 13 January (3pm kick-off).
The two sides met in a friendly earlier this year, with the Raiders running in 10 tries to defeat Crusaders 52-24 in Nathan Mossop's testimonial back in January.
Led by former Raiders forward Carl Forster, North Wales went within a game of promotion to the Betfred Championship last season, only to be defeated by Doncaster in the play-off final.
Forster previously helped the Raiders to promotion in 2021 and made 43 appearances across his two seasons in Cumbria before opting to leave the club to take up a player-coach role with his current side.
It is the Raiders' first official pre-season friendly and second confirmed fixture ahead of the new season. Paul Crarey's side will also host a Barrow & District Select side in Dan Toal’s testimonial match on Saturday 30 December (2pm kick-off).
Further friendlies ahead of the 2024 season will be announced once confirmed.
