A tense final few minutes at the Rugby........

What a roller-coaster that was at the Rugby on Saturday.

Guernsey Raiders faced a tough game against Henley Hawks on a blustery pitch at Footes Lane.

But it was the Raiders who made the best of the conditions and held a narrow lead at half-time. After the re-start Raiders worked hard and managed to pull out a fourteen point advantage. Things were beginning to look positive.

But as we know, a team needs to maintain discipline and motivation all the way to the end and the Raiders seemed to give away their advantage allowing Henley Hawks the chance to take a one point lead on the 77th minute!

However Raiders were then given one more chance to take the win after a penalty was given. But this last kick of the game was missed as the ball floated in the strong wind.

So like I said above it had been a fairground ride of emotions leaving us with a final score of 26-27.
