Away-day bonuses for Raiders
RAIDERS produced an outstanding second-half display to pick up two bonus points in a narrow 26-20 loss at Tonbridge Juddians on Saturday.
The home side took an early lead with a converted try following a chip over the Guernsey defence before Doug Horrocks drove himself over the line to reduce the deficit to two points.
However, that was to be Raiders’ sole score of the first 40min. while TJs added a further three tries, two of which were converted, to establish a 26-5 half-time lead.
Guernsey rallied impressively after the turnaround though, with the forwards again showing their strength.
Scrum-half Owen Clemett benefitted from his powerful pack as he slid over to score his side’s second try, then captain Lewis Hillier touched down from a catch-and-drive, before Tom Ceillam got the bonus-point fourth try.
