Raiders Slow Start Costs Them ...Raiders made a lively start with Purley clearing a Miller close range shot off the line. Young's tackling was solid in defence but then Purley took control of the 1st half with a series of probing runs. Thurlow makes a stunning 1-on-1 save with the defence beaten. Raiders rode their luck as the speedy no12 ran amock and Greengrass hit the post in a rare attack.

A level playing field ?With two defeats in their first two matches the Raiders had a psychological hill to climb. And in the first half they had a physical one to climb as well. The pitch was hard, the goal mouth rutted and a north-south slope that certainly was not a level playing field.The Raiders started strongly with Mark scoring an early goal in the first three minutes.

But as in the league games Raiders showed their passing game to dispatch all comers with fine goals from the Miller brothers, Harris-Whyte, and Walsh.

In an evenly matched game, Rotherfield Blacks made an unusually fast start. Both sides played open attacking football. Excellent interplay and safe clearing by the defenders Kit Greengrass and Kai Carlisle facilitated a great pass from Kit over the heads of the Meadway defense to Max Sweetman, who took it round the goalie to score.
