Showing improvement each week the (1-2) UNSW Raiders Women’s team started off the day by getting their first win for the season with a dominant performance over the Central West Giants 34-0. The (0-3) Colts still struggling to connect the passing game lost to the Northern Sydney Rebels Colts 0-30. Meanwhile finishing out the day the (2-1) Raiders Men’s had a huge win scoring 6 TDs in the first half and holding out a resurging Rebels 39-28. Next weekend is a bye for all three teams.
The mens team for the UNSW Raiders was the first to celebrate a win this season, as they closed out todays games against the Napean Ducks winning 38-8. Earlier today the womens team, even through their renewed dedication to training this week were narrowly frustrated in their game with the final score of 18-14 to the Ducks. While our young and upcoming Colts also unfortunately went down 14-8, but showed so much passion fighting back in the second half.
It was a hard day at the office for the UNSW Raiders today as all three teams ended up with a first round loss. The Colts lost to the Cubs 28 – 8. Across town in the Women’s, the Rebels beat the Raiders 22 – 8. Lastly the Lions narrowly defeated the Raiders in a close nail-biting game 34 – 32. All the coaches agree that there is a lot of work to do, but positive signs ahead.
