68th min Raiders force a line drop. They’re really getting on top now. Big runs from Esera and Clarkson.

TRY RAIDERS to Trey Mooney, close to the posts. Big gap opened. The Bulls put the Raiders Under a lot of pressure either side of first half, but they’ve run out of steam. Souter converts.

MATCH REPORT: Canberra Raiders 20s swamp gutsy Gungahlin Bulls in the wet

Canberra Raiders under-20s halfback Reece Piepers had to come off due to hypothermia from playing in the Nicholls International Swamp on Saturday, a 28-8 victory for the young Green Machine.

"Sila [Titiuti] got a couple and Trey [Mooney] might've got a couple [of tries] as well. But I thought both of those two took the game by the scruff of the neck and played really hard and direct through the middle there," Raiders 20s coach Ash Barnes said.

MATCH REPORT: Queanbeyan Blues steal the win in the wet against Woden Valley Rams

The Queanbeyan Blues defeated the Woden Valley Rams 18 – 14 in a wet and physical clash at Phillip Oval today. The game went down to the wire as the Rams looked like scoring in the final minutes, but the defence of the 2019 premiers was too good for the home team.

I walked across the ground after the match. There was at least an inch of water to the top of the surface.

Well done to both teams to play in those conditions.

Yeah what you can take from it is our forwards that I have been talking up have a bit of heart. Opposition was nothing special but I thought Mooney, Clarkson, Esera were really good coming into the side as 18 year olds. Mooney and Esera especially the opposition take a backward step when they run at them.

I thought our best was another forward Sila Tituiti, just led from the front all day.

Disappointment of the day was Jordan Martin hurting his knee. Could be pretty bad sadly. I know there are a few on here that really rate him.

I think you will find that one was 15 not 13 - Keaton Meads. But yes it was very tough to see. Was very dark by then too.

Trey Mooney out of NRL bubble and keen to impress for Raiders Under-20s

He's had a taste of the NRL bubble, and now Trey Mooney wants more. But until then, the Raiders' newest schoolboy star will ply his trade for the Raiders' under-20s in the local competition.

"It was good to be around those type of people and gain that sort of experience. It was basically the same thing, training, home, training, home. You're not so much playing footy, but you're learning off the best."

CRRL Cup Round 4 Preview

The Raiders Under 20’s will look to continue their unbeaten run when they take on the Woden Valley Rams at Phillip Oval on Saturday. Big forward Silafono Titiuti has been amongst the best in the side so far this season, testing opposition defence and picking up two tries last weekend. The Under 20’s have named a new halves pairing, with Reece Piepers and Jordan Williams set to lead the team around the park.

FULL TIME

Woden Valley Rams 24 defeated UC Stars 12

Great try from Rams five eighth Jesse Taws in the final minute to seal the deal.

[The Greenhouse]

Teams on the field...

Raiders kick off, we’re underway!

[The Greenhouse]

8th min TRY RAIDERS to Mitch Souter, he just swivels in a tackle and somehow gets the ball down. Lots of traffic. Souter converts his own try.

Raiders 6-0

[The Greenhouse]

11th min TRY RAIDERS to Caleb Esera. He’s just too big, too powerful and crashes over. Jordan Williams conversion attempt hits the post and bounces away.

Raiders 10-0

[The Greenhouse]

At the 20 minute mark...

Canberra Raiders 10
Woden Valley Rams 0

[The Greenhouse]

24th min Keaton Walkington-Meads held up over the line... and the Raiders concede a seven tackle set. Grubber too long.

[The Greenhouse]

34th min TRY RAIDERS to Matt Fellows. The result of good pressure. The Raiders have also done well to stave off the Rams at other end, multiple time in this quarter. Reece Piepers converts.

Raiders 16-0

[The Greenhouse]

38th min Steady rain the entire afternoon... and it’s impacting the handling.

HALF TIME

Rams kick off to start the second half.

[The Greenhouse]

44th min TRY RAMS to benchie Tyler Jones out wide. Crashes over from close range. No conversion.

Raiders 16-4

[The Greenhouse]

48th min Five eighth Reece Piepers chaired off, ankle injury. It’s a shame. He’s played well. He's a small player in this age group, but he does well.

[The Greenhouse]

60 min mark...

Canberra Raiders 16
Woden Valley Rams 4

[The Greenhouse]

66th min TRY RAMS to winger Scott Swanson, in the corner, it’s the result of a Raiders spilled ball in a tackle, right on the goal line. Daniel Desmet can’t convert.

Canberra Raiders 16
Woden Valley Rams 8

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min Lots of pressure with repeat sets for the Rams on the Raiders goal line, but the defence holds.

[The Greenhouse]

76th min TRY RAIDERS to Matt Fellows. He scores from close range on the last. It was all set up by a thrilling break from Manase Kaho, running 70 metres. Jordan Williams is unable to convert.

Not a particularly good game from the Raiders to be honest. We scored early a couple of times including Esera barging over looking bigger than everyone but after that we were very scrappy, dropped a lot of ball. It was only a great run by Kaho in the second half that set up our only try after half time.

I thought Tom Robertson was really good for Woden. He was to play Mounties this year. Was surprised they started him off the bench but he gave a real impact when he came on. I hope he is still in our plans, I reckon he can continue to develop.

Canberra Raiders under-20s tempt injury fate in hard-fought win over Woden Valley Rams

It's as if the Canberra Raiders under-20s were tempting fate by starting with only two on the bench. That became one when five-eighth Reece Piepers was carried off with an ankle injury.

But the silver lining was Matthew Fellows put a tough run with injuries behind him to score two tries in the hard-fought 20-8 victory over the Woden Valley Rams at Phillip on Saturday.

Interesting they've farmed out Gordon Whippy and Josh Thompson to see how they go with more minutes and play under fatigue. Piepers in a moon boot after the game, with his ankle, but hoping to play next week.

I'm a big Robo fan. He's the modern forward prototype. Few years of development in him though. Hope he's keen.

Yep, the Rams have a few former Raiders Under 20s, some could play NSW Cup level.

Always have time for Gordon. Huge fan of his old man and his ice cream
