An entertaining, competitive National two match between Worthing Raiders and Barnes at Roundstone Lane became a one-sided affair in the latter stages after Raiders picked up two red cards – the visitors running out 51-28 winners.

Against a very good Barnes side the effort put in by the Raiders’ side cannot be doubted and their ability to manufacture that fourth try was nothing short of exceptional.

For this first home game of the season, the opposition was the same as the last game of last season. Raiders beat Barnes with the final kick of the game on that occasion and as one of the only three teams to win their first two matches a tough encounter was expected.

With Fraser Bruce and Curtis Barnes still injured and Will Rigelsford unavailable, Iago Davies returned at scrum half, Ethan Clarke to the front row and Cam Dobinson to the bench.
