Junior Reps Wrap: Round Six

Round six of the junior reps has come and gone, with the Raiders scoring two wins over the weekend heading into the final three weeks of the competitions.

Lisa Fiaola Cup

The Raiders suffered a 32-0 defeat to the CC Roosters on Saturday morning at Woy Woy.

The joint leaders' Sydney were too strong for the Raiders as they racked up seven tries in a tough contest.

Canberra have the competition bye, but will look to turn things around when they take on the Bears at Raiders Belconnen next Saturday.

Tarsha Gale Cup

The Raiders Tarsha Gale Cup side ran away 22-18 victors over the Indigenous Academy Roosters in an important win at Woy Woy Oval.

After trailing 8-nil early, the visitors hit back through Gabriella Savage, who scored a double to take the lead.

Raiders halfback Summer Luamanu also crossed for a try double to close out the victory to bag their first win of the season.

The Raiders will also have the weekend off with a competition bye round.

Harold Matthews Cup

The Raiders bagged an important 20-18 victory over Parramatta on Saturday, coming from behind to steal the win in the dying stages.

Joaz Ayamiseba scored the match winner in the final five minutes to close out the important victory which pushes the Raiders back into finals contention.

The Raiders sit only two points outside of the top 8, with three matches remaining in their schedule.

Canberra will take confidence out of Saturday's contest into the competition bye, before focusing on the Roosters in round seven.

SG Ball Cup

The Raiders suffered their first loss of the season, falling 30-18 to the Eels in Sydney on Saturday.

It was a back and forth start in the early stages, with the Raiders and Eels trading tries in the opening 15 minutes.

But it was all one-way traffic as Parramatta piled on tries early in the second half to runaway winners.

Canberra will turn their attention to the Storm in round seven, in a match which could have major implications on the ladder heading into the final weeks.
