There were five changes from the previous week because of injury and unavailability, making selection a challenge. Ed Hodson and Ben Featherstone were making their debuts. Raiders managed some early pressure with a few opportunities but some good defence mixed with a few errors kept them from scoring. A high ball led to a Worthing player and a Guernsey man competing in the air. With the Guernsey player higher, his momentum took him over the Worthing player, landing on shoulder, but a yellow card was shown to Tom Bowen. Guernsey then went into Worthing 22m and scored. Guernsey went on to score three more tries from a mix of good close-quarter play and effective running with the ball. Just before half-time two penalties for Worthing were kicked into the corner and from the lineout, a catch and drive led to Grant Gatford (who at 47 years old is thought to be the oldest player in the league) going over for a try. Tom Derrick missed the conversion so at the interval it was 28-5 to Guernsey. After the break, pressure from Worthing led to a scrum following a Guernsey yellow. Good phase play led to Frank Taggart offloading to Tom Sunray who ran in. The conversion by Tom Derrick made it 28-12. A missed touch from Guernsey saw the ball go infield. Bowen went on an arching run and fed Pete Drummond on the right wing – and he dodged three tackles to score. A missed conversion meant it was 28-17. A Guernsey break led to yellow for Cam Dobinson on 55 minutes and Guernsey kicked a penalty for a 31-17 lead. A high clearance from the Raiders’ line on 64 minutes was chased by James Maher. He and a Guernsey player went for it and the Guernsey player landed on his shoulder, bringing a yellow for Maher. A penalty kick put Guernsey 34-17 up. On 66 minutes a clearance kick from Raiders was gatherd by Guernsey outside their 22 and run back in for a converted try. There was Worthing pressure at the end but they could not get over the line to score and it remained 41-17. Four minutes from the end a penalty to Raiders was awarded but no yellow card for Guernsey and the penalty was missed. Raiders: 1. Grant Gatford 2. Will Gearing-Grief 3. Ben Featherstone 4.
