RUGBY: Raiders enter new season with eyes on top six

Friday 06 September 2024


Guernsey Raiders begin their campaign at home tomorrow with expectations being set out to eclipse last season’s league performance.

They finished 10th in National Two East, but see themselves as a better outfit than that and will take confidence from the Siam Cup success that capped off that year.

Worthing Raiders are the visitors to Footes Lane, with kick-off at 2pm.

They finished two places below Guernsey, who beat them on the road 31-28 and at home 41-17.
