Raiders fall just short at the leaders

There was some consolation, however, in the 32-26 defeat, as it brought about two bonus points and with Shelford losing 25-0 at Southend Saxons the gap between fifth-placed Raiders and Shelford has grown to six points.

Raiders' four tries came from Cameron Craine, Adam Nixon, Dan Hill and a penalty try.
