Game Report
Raiders vs UTS
Hey all Tommy here to give you the run of this weekend’s match up against Bondi and UTS.
To start off, Bondi were quite dominant with the ball. We showed the Gators that we meant business. Within the first five minutes we managed to get points on the board with a spectacular passing touchdown from Wide Receiver Dane Robertson. Following the successful drive, our defence turned it up a gear and turned over the ball four times in the first half. We then secured a field goal at the start of the second quarter. However, UTS succeeded in getting 6 on the board with a 65 yard run up the middle. At the end of the 1st half Bondi was leading 10-6.
To prove we weren’t backing down from this game, Wide Receiver Dean Borghuis who was playing Free Safety was able to get a pick and run it in for a huge 50 yard touchdown. With the lead now getting bigger, the Raiders started to ease off a bit. This was a big mistake as UTS managed to score a running touchdown. Following this, Bondi made key mistakes which resulted in UTS racking up another 25 points. But in true Raiders form, we did not quit until the final whistle.
Final Score
UTS 37
Raiders 17
Player of the game goes to Dean Borghuis with 3 huge intercepts. Even though it was his first game as Free Safety, he managed to hold his own.
Now with one game left. Bondi are going to give it their all in defeating Sydney Uni and getting into the finals. We believe. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!

Game Report
Game 7
Raiders vs Sydney Uni
Hey all Tommy here to give you the weekly report.
This week saw us matched up with league favourites Sydney Uni. The Raiders were definitely going to have a hard game ahead of them.
Bondi started off with the ball and managed to clock up some yardage on the Lions defence. However, they showed us why they are currently first in the state. It seemed however that no matter what we did we could not stop their running game as they managed to clock up 34 points in the 1st half.
The 2nd half didn’t prove to be much of a turning point either. At every turn they had us beat.
Final Score 61
Raiders 0
As much as it pains me to say this, Sydney Uni did play a much better game and I know that the majority of the players feel the same way. but as Darryl said it cannot get any worse and we now know how to counter them. Next time we will be prepared.
