NSW Cup

The Raiders NSW Cup side went down 18-16 in a nail-biter to the Warriors on Saturday afternoon.

Canberra came out of the sheds fast, establishing an early 10-0 lead after tries from Trey Mooney and Michael Asomua.

The Warriors hit back with two converted tries to take a 12-10 lead after the halftime break.

Asomua finished a try to add to his tally, including a match-high 191 running metres and three line-breaks in a strong individual performance. 

But Canberra couldn't hold out a late try to Moala Graham-Taufa, which was converted by Tanah Boyd to go down by two points to the Warriors in a tight one.

The Raiders will have a bye round to regroup and prepare for their round three match against Manly at 4 Pines Park.
