Raiders' tries came from Callum Wilson, Ben Coulson, Will Harris, Ben Dudley, Charlie McGowan and Matt McLean.

Worthing team manager David Hinchcliffe said: "It was a very good performance.

"We missed a few chances in the first half, and it was only 10-3 at half-time, and they got it back to 10-8 early in the second half.

"We got away from them a bit to make it 21-8 but then they got another try, before we put 26 points on the board in the last 20 minutes."
