Raiders fans rewarded with strong performance

The Hibiscus Coast Raiders premier men’s team produced their best for the home crowd at Stanmore Bay with a 68-10 victory over Glenfield Greyhounds on Saturday, May 11.

Club president Roger Reid says Raiders were dominant from kickoff and opened the scoring within minutes. 

The gusty and erratic wind made things difficult for the kickers, so the score progressed in fours and by half time it was 38-0.

Glenfield put up more resistance after the restart and was rewarded with two tries but it was Raiders’ day and the team added a further 30 points before the final whistle blew, mercifully for the visitors. 

Earlier that day, Raiders’ Reserves ground out their second tight victory in a row, 22-18 over Mangere East.
