IN their second match of pre-season, Kent Ravens RLFC confidently swept aside London Griffins 40-10 at Richmond College.

The match started at a frantic pace, but once this had settled slightly, the match turned into an exciting and action-packed spectacle.

The Griffins were first to score when they slipped through the Ravens defence. However, they were unable to add the additional two points from the kick.

This early score from the opposition would have unsettled some teams, but on this occasion it seemed to spur the visitors on.

Once they had settled down, the Ravens started to dominate proceedings.

When the teams came off at half-time the score was 16-10 to the Ravens.

The second half was just as frenetic and exciting as the first had been and the Ravens were completely dominating the match.

There was good defence and attacking play throughout the match from the Ravens and it proved to be a good pre-season workout for the team.

The match ended 40-10 to Kent Ravens with a hat-trick of tries from Matt Lowden, two from Paul Hyder and one each from Luke Bredin and Aiden Oakley.

Stand-off Thomas Claridge successfully kicked six goals to complete the scoring for the Ravens.

Kent Ravens' assistant coach Michael James said: "In the last two weeks the team have had a couple of tough games.

"But they have come through them stronger as a unit and are starting to take shape for the season ahead, which hopefully will be a successful one.' For more information on the club or if you wish to join the Ravens, visit kentravens.co.uk or call 07707 852952.
