In their second match of pre season, Kent Ravens RLFC confidently
swept aside London Griffins RLFC at Richmond College. The match
started at a frantic pace which seemed to sweep both teams into
playing an extremely fast game of rugby league. Once the pace 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 half 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.

After the match Kent Ravens' assistant coach, Michael James,
commented that, `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.'
