Picture special as Worthing Raiders end season with 71-19 win overNorth Walsham

Worthing Raiders beat North Walsham 71-19 in their final National two east game of 2023-24 – a typical end of season game with lots of excellent, expansive rugby from both teams as the Raiders celebrate avoiding relegation.

Although it was 11 tries to three, the relegated visitors showed great spirit.

For Raiders it has been a very mixed season and it’s disappointing final league position of 12th - but having picked up 23 bonus points it shows that many of the defeats were close fought affairs. Last year they found a way to win in close games, this season they could not.

They ended nine points clear of the relegation places. Plenty of positives can be taken forward into next season when Raiders will hope to be back in the top half of the league.

Many thanks go to all those who have supported the team at home and away – it is greatly appreciated by the players and coaches.
