This weekend our UNSW Raiders Colts were due to play the Central Coast Sharks, however, due to low numbers the Sharks forfeited the game giving the Raiders the win. As we were aware of the forfeit our coaches organised a practice scrimmage with the Wollongong Brumbies, who were on a bye week. All the boys enjoyed the hit up and appreciated the time the coaches gave to them this weekend. To see photos from the scrimmage please click here: Scrimmage photos album.
