Tee Ritson Urges Team to Play Freely and Expressively

Barrow Raiders winger Tee Ritson has encouraged his team to embrace a fearless approach ahead of their upcoming match against the York Knights in the Betfred Challenge Cup. The match is set for Saturday at the Northern Competitions Stadium, starting at 6 PM. A coveted spot in the last 16 of the competition will be at stake.

Tee Ritson Motivates Team for Key Challenge Cup Match

This match marks the Raiders’ first encounter with Super League opposition since 2022. Back then, Barrow faced the Huddersfield Giants but unfortunately lost 30-16. The Raiders, newly promoted to the Betfred Super League, have had a strong start to the season, winning all three of their matches in both league and cup competitions.

Focus on Expressive Play

• Ritson stresses the importance of maintaining an expansive style of play.
• Coach Paul Crarey emphasizes the need for the team to express themselves on the field.
• The squad has identified areas for improvement and introduced new strategies to enhance their game.

As Ritson pointed out, Saturday’s matchup against York will be a critical test for the team. “We believe this game will provide a clear indication of our capabilities,” he stated. Understanding the challenges ahead, he underlined the necessity of staying grounded while aiming for success.

Past Experience Fuels Ambition

Ritson is one of seven players from the current squad who participated in the previous Challenge Cup clash against Huddersfield four years ago. He notably scored two tries during that match, which was his last appearance for Barrow before joining St Helens for the 2023 season. Now back with the Raiders, Ritson is eager to create new memories.

Reflecting on that significant day, Ritson recalled the excitement the match generated within the community. “The atmosphere was electric, and we were able to compete against some of the best players,” he said. With anticipation building as Saturday approaches, he hopes that fans will turn out in full force to support the team.
