Batley Bulldogs’ televised home clash with Barrow Raiders tonight has been switched to neighbours Dewsbury Rams because of damage to the floodlights at Batley’s Fox’s Biscuits Stadium.
The televised Betfred Championship match was scheduled to take place at Mount Pleasant but will now be moved to Heavy Woollen neighbours Dewsbury due to what Batley have described as “technical issues”.
The match will still be shown on Viaplay Sports, with coverage starting at 7:15pm ahead of kick-off at 7:45pm. The Rugby Football League say they have approved the late switch of venue because of special circumstances, and are grateful to the flexibility shown by the clubs and broadcasters.

They take on a Barrow side without a win in league action so far, losing four and drawing one of their opening five league games. The Raiders reached the play-offs lost season but Paul Crarey's side have found the going tough so far this season.
