KENT Ravens RLFC headed into this game against unbeaten league leaders Swindon St George in mid-table.

However, the surprise of the season so far unfolded in the first half as Kent built up a massive lead as two tries apiece from Michael Newton and Alan Mount put the Ravens in total control.

Swindon may have been able to add a handful of points, but further scores from Ravens captain Carl Morgan, Mark Mooney, Constantine Hatzidkis and powerhouse prop Sean Frankland sealed the win for Kent.

But with half an hour to go, Swindon showed why they were top as they put pressure on the New Ash Green side and closed the points gap as the final whistle approached.

However, some last-ditch defending from the Ravens kept the gap to at least eight points as they moved to joint top in the table.

The win ended a perfect week for the Kent Ravens because a record number of six members of the squad were also selected for the south of London on Wednesday.

Congratulation must go to Carl Morgan, Nick Mcpherson, Sean Frankland, Alan Mount and the Hatzidakis brothers Alex and Constantine as they join up with the representative training squad gearing up to play the north.

This Saturday will is derby day as Kent Ravens play host to rivals Greenwich Admirals at New Ash Green at 2.30pm on Saturday. Entry is free.
