After a weekend off for long Weekend, the boys are refreshed and ready to get stuck back into it!!

This Saturday we head over to Paengaroa to take on the Papamoa Bulldogs in what should be another great battle ⚔️

We’d love to see plenty of Raiders supporters make the trip over and get behind the team. We will be making a few refreshment stops on the way back to Matamata and we would love our supporters to follow the vans home with us 💚

Tough fought game yesterday for the lads. Massive shout out to our supporters who made the trip down. 💚

Watea once again collects points in a massive shift for the raiders. With Maia and Tezza both collecting points leading from the front.

Onto the next assignment, next weekend we are in Putaruru to take on the dragons. We would love to see our supporters there 😤
