The Royals played Telford Raider last Saturday with a complete new line up compared to the previous week. With unavailability due to the bank holiday weekend, the Royals only had 4 players starting from the game against the Bulldogs.

With the Raiders fielding a strong team which included a Tonga U20's cap, the Royals know it would be a tough afternoon, and within 20 mins the Royals were 20 points down. It didn't get any better as the Raiders scored again and pushed the score to 30 to nil. The Royals did have some positive play which ended with young Eddie Atherton scoring out wide. Another positive was the completion sets. In the first half they completed 70% which is the best this season, unfortunately the defence was slightly open!

The second half started strong for the Royals with hard yards from Gilks/ Jones and Rogers. It was a game of give and take into the last quarter until the young Tonga international scored 3 try's. The Royals did finish well with the last try which was scored by Alford and convert by Parsons.
