CS Stags 1863 10 Raiders 52
JUST one point now separates Raiders and leaders Rochford at the top of London SE Premier.
The next few months promise to be a nervous time for Jordan Reynolds’ men determined to reestablish themselves at National level.
In Chiswick, Raiders thumped CS Stags 1863 for the second time this campaign to keep up the pressure on Rochford who were digging deep to stave off Wimbledon 12-3.
Raiders were putting 52 points on the Stags, running in eight tries, six of which were converted by Owen Thomas.
The visitors had initially fallen behind as they were handicapped by the strong wind, but were soon ahead through the first of Anthony Armstrong's three tries, converted by the fly-half.
By half-time Raiders had pulled out to a 19-10 lead and in the second half eased away with another power show which denied the home side any more points.
Douglas Horrocks helped himself to two tries, Matt Armstrong one and in the final minutes both Tom Teasdale and scrum-half stand-in Lucas Barker went over.
Raiders are now eight points clear of third-placed Wimbledon who have a match in hand.
It was a physical game and, again, the Guernsey side came up against former team-mate Adam Nixon.
Barker had a good game as Jake O’Connor was rested on the bench, while alongside him Owen Thomas produced another good performance and kicked well.
It was also pleasing to see Douglas Horrocks regaining some form since his Christmas break in New Zealand.
The lads now have a weekend off before taking on Sevenoaks at Footes Lane.
