It was a thrilling game with excellent rugby from both sides. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the home side’s attacking play and the gritty defending that possibly made the difference between winning and losing, plus the theatrical climax of Alex Davies’ last-minute penalty from 45 metres out.
This was a great end to a successful season that featured 18 Raiders wins and ended with them in fourth place in the league.
