Kent Ravens 56-16 Bedford Tigers

When the league leaders came to town many were predicting a close run
game that could go either way. However after a scintillating
performance from the Ravens, the Tigers were never really in the
game. The Ravens ran in eleven tries and totally dominated the match
from start to finish.

The match started at a fast pace and the Ravens scored in the first
five minutes through a try from Andy Reeve. The Tigers then scored a
try against the run of play to take the lead. The lead was soon
regained though through another try from Andy Reeve, and almost
immediately Andy Reeve scored again to secure his hat trick. Aiden
Oakley kicked the goal to make the score 14-6 to the Ravens. At this
point it looked like the Ravens might run away with the game but the
Tigers showed some fighting spirit and scored a second try to make
the score 14-12. Just when the game looked like it was becoming a
tight and tense encounter, skipper Aiden Oakley burst free to score a
try and then kicked the goal.

Just before half time, Joe Oxford took the game by the scruff of its
neck and scored two quick fire tries, with Aiden Oakley kicking both
goals to make the half time score 32-12 to the Ravens.

The second half continued mainly in the same vein as the first half
but the Ravens were even more in control of this half as the Tigers
began to tire. Andy Reeve scored his fourth and fifth tries of the
game either side of a try from Tom White, with Aiden Oakley adding
four more points with two successful kicks at goal. With the score at
48-12 to the Kent Ravens, the Bedford Tigers scored their third and
last try of the game which was scant consolation for them.

Tom White then scored his second try from another burst through the
Tigers' defence, and Josh Madden completed the scoring on his debut
after being put clear.

So the final score was 56-16 to the Ravens, and some people commented
that this was the best performance from a Kent Ravens side in years.
This win made it three wins on the trot for the Kent Ravens, who now
have three away games on the spin before coming home to Princes Park
Stadium on 19th July at 2.30pm against the Eastern Raiders.

A Kent Ravens side with several new players triumphed in an
enthralling contest at Princes Park Stadium.

The Ravens started slowly and went behind early on. This early score
seemed to wake the Kent Ravens, who upped the tempo, and shortly
after Tom White, a debutant, crossed the try line to level the
score. Richard Williams then scored the Ravens second try of the
afternoon. South London Storm did come back into the match, and
scored a second try of their own.

Then Ravens' skipper Aiden Oakley scored a try after a superb run
through the heart of the Storm. Another debutant, Andy Reeve then
scored the team's fourth try. Just before the end of the first half,
Tom White scored his second try on his debut. Aiden Oakley kicked
four goals in the first half to make the half time score 28-10 to
the Ravens.

In the second half the Storm came back strongly and reduced their
arrears but the Ravens were still looking very dangerous in attack.
Another debutant, Tom Spear scored the Ravens sixth and eighth tries
of the match, and in between these was sandwiched a try by another
new face, Steve Say. Joe Oxford, in his second game for the Ravens
scored a try to virtually seal the game for the Kent Ravens. Richard
Williams then topped off a superb afternoon for the Ravens by
scoring his second try of the match. Aiden Oakley kicked a further
three goals in the second half to make the final score 54-42 to the
Kent Ravens.

Before the first team took to the field, the Junior Ravens under 14s
team played against the Medway Dragons. Despite putting in a good
performance the Junior Ravens lost 40-16.

Kent Ravens next game is against Southampton Spitfires at Princes
Park Stadium in Dartford next Saturday the 14th June.

On a day when the weather could not have been much more different to
last weekend, Kent Ravens secured a 36-24 victory over Norwich
Saxons in their first league game of the season. With it being a
very damp and slightly chilly day, the conditions were not ideally
suited to a free flowing game of rugby league.

The game was fairly even in the first quarter, and then the Ravens
started to get into their stride. They took the lead through a try
from Lee Amzeleg, and then extended their lead with a try from
Damien Izzard. The Ravens managed to score a third try in the first
half when Richard Hewes went over the try line. In the last 10
minutes of the first half, the Saxons had a mini revival and scored
a try a few minutes before the half time interval. This made the
half time score 16-6 to the Ravens.

The half time interval seemed to help the Ravens more than the
Saxons because an early score from Ewen Drummond calmed the Ravens'
players down and made sure that any hopes of a comeback by the
Saxons were dramatically cut short. However Norwich Saxons never
gave up and kept causing the Ravens defence problems, however the
Ravens always looked comfortable and in control in what was a very
assured performance. There were further scores in the second half
from the Ravens by Monish Shome, Stuart Leppard, and Damien Izzard.
Aiden Oakley kicked three goals, and Richard Hewes kicked one goal
to make the final score 36-24 to Kent Ravens.

Before the first team took to the field for their game, the Junior
Ravens U13s played their match against Farnborough Falcons on the
pitch at Princes Park Stadium. This was a fantastic opportunity for
the youngsters to get their first taste of playing at Princes Park.
Unfortunately the Ravens U13s lost the game 40-26 but it was a very
good performance and a very entertaining match to watch, and the
players seemed to enjoy the opportunity of playing within the
stadium.

Kent Ravens next game is against Hainault Bulldogs next Saturday at
2.30pm at Princes Park Stadium. This promises to be an explosive
match so why not come along and watch the action?!

The Kent Ravens kicked off their season at Princes Park Stadium with
a very entertaining 14-14 draw against Greenwich University in a
friendly, in front of 156 excited fans. The match was the first
opportunity for the players to play in this impressive arena, and by
the way that the players performed, it was obvious that they
thoroughly enjoyed playing in the stadium. Also the Ravenettes and
Junior Ravenettes got to show off their dancing ability before kick
off, and cheer the teams out onto the pitch.

The game started fairly quickly and Greenwich had the first chance
to score, however some good defending by the Ravens prevented any
score being conceded. Almost immediately after that scare, the
Ravens took the lead with a try from Stuart Leppard. Aiden Oakley
duly slotted the goal to give the Kent Ravens a 6 point lead. Even
with this deficit, Greenwich were not out of the game and this
proved to be the case when they managed to cross the try line and
reduce the deficit to 2 points. However the Ravens were determined
not to let the opposition get a stranglehold on the game, and the
Ravens took a 10 point lead into half time when their captain, Aiden
Oakley scored the team's second try.

The heat appeared to take its toll slightly in the second half, in
which Greenwich got themselves firmly back into the game. It started
brightly with Ross Bailey scoring a try on his debut for the Ravens,
which gave them a 14-4 lead. However Greenwich clawed their way back
into the match and snatched a draw towards the end.

Despite not winning, Kent Ravens go into next Saturday's opening
league match against Norwich Saxons in high spirits with a lot of
positives to take from this match. The match next Saturday is again
at Princes Park Stadium in Dartford with a 2.30pm kick off. The club
is looking to beat the attendance figure from the game against
Greenwich so why not come along and cheer on the Ravens?!!

In the last couple of weeks Kent Ravens Rugby League Club has
received a Kent County Council Member Community Grant.  This grant
has come from the members of the Kent County Council for the
Dartford area.  Each of the 84 county councillors can provide
financial support for projects that they feel will benefit their
local communities.  In the past, the funding has helped a wide range
of projects around Kent, and this time it was the turn of the Kent
Ravens.

Three of the Kent County Council's members expressed their delight,
and reasons why they decided to support the Kent Ravens in this way,

`I am delighted to have been able to help Kent Ravens from my
Members Community Grant and hope the grant will go some way in
increasing the involvement of yet more young people in this exciting
sport!!'  Christine Angell – KCC Member for Dartford East

`I hope that the grant is beneficial to the team in many ways, and
that it helps to create a team of good rugby players.'  Bertie
Bassam – KCC member

`This is a great project, it helps local young people keep fit and
healthy, off the streets having fun and enjoying themselves.' Tom
Maddison – KCC Member

This grant will enable the Ravens to expand and develop as a club,
and will help young people to learn a new sport, and new skills.

Also on Thursday 17th April, Princes Park Stadium, and Kent Ravens
RLFC played host to one of the most famous trophies in world sport,
the Rugby Football League Challenge Cup.  The cup, which is over 100
years old, was paraded on the pitch at the stadium, which will be
the home of the Kent Ravens in their upcoming season.  People of all
ages got the chance to have their photo taken with this famous
trophy, and study the famous names of teams and players that have
won the trophy since its beginning, the 1896-97 season.  Hopefully
it inspired the young and the more experienced players even more to
want to win trophies with the Kent Ravens this season.

There have been a couple of exciting developments at Kent Ravens
Rugby League Club in the last week.

Firstly, a great opportunity for all has arisen at the Kent Ravens,
the actual Rugby Football League Challenge Cup, which is currently
held by St. Helens after they beat Catalan Dragons 30-8 at Wembley
in 2007, will be on the Princes Park Stadium pitch at 11am on
Thursday 17th April for people to hold and get their pictures taken
with.

The Challenge Cup first took place in 1897 and has been a major
showpiece of the rugby league season ever since. Since 1929 the
majority of Challenge Cup Finals have been held at Wembley Stadium,
and in 2007 the first Challenge Cup Final was held at the new
Wembley Stadium where St Helens saw off the challenge of the Catalan
Dragons, who were the first side from France to compete in a
Challenge Cup Final.

This is a great opportunity for local schools, media, local sports
clubs and anyone in the local Dartford area to get close to a piece
of history, so please feel free to come along and take part in what
should be an historic day!

The second major development has been the announcement that a member
of the Ravens first team last season, Gary Sargeant has been offered
a Harlequins RL academy contract for this season. This is great news
for the player himself, and also for the Ravens as a club.

Gary was obviously really pleased with the offer and took the
opportunity to thank the people that had made all this
possible. "It's a Harlequins RL academy contract and it runs from
1st April – 30th September. I'd like to take this opportunity to
thank Ed Easter and Adrian Suter for all their guidance and support,
the Ravens for giving me the opportunity to play rugby league, and
my mum for all the travelling.
I wish the Ravens the best of luck for the season, and hopefully
this is going to be the start of a lot of things to come and one
day, hopefully will lead to me becoming a Super League 13 player."

Phil Jones, Player Performance Manager at Harlequins RL also
commented, "Gary has worked really hard during pre season and has
been rewarded with a Reserve/Academy Terms and Conditions
Registration (RATC) which reflects that we expect him to regularly
be in the 17 man squad on a match day. It is a great reflection on
his dedication with him being very new to the game compared to a lot
of the other boys involved. It also shows the good work that Kent
Ravens are doing that they have produced a player capable of playing
in the Gillette Champions Academy and I am sure he will be the first
of many"
The contract that Gary Sargeant has signed, an RATC, pays appearance
money and a win bonus, and runs until September 2008.

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.'

Members of Kent Ravens Rugby League Club attended the Dartford
Sports Awards on the evening of Wednesday 26th March at Princes Park
Stadium, to pick up an award for Charlie Whittaker, who was unable
to attend the event due to being away skiing. Charlie, a current
member of the Junior Ravens Under 14s side, won the Under 13 male
award at the event. He has had an incredible year which involved
playing with players that were a year older than himself, and also
helping to coach his younger brother's team at the Ravens.

Also this week the Ravens first team kicked off their season with
the first game of their pre season preparations taking place on
Saturday 29th March at Leigh Technology Academy in Dartford against
South London Storm. Despite the result, South London Storm were
leading 18-12 at half time, and eventually won 44-18, there were
many positives that the team could take from the performance. These
positives included Chris McNamara scoring two tries on his debut,
and fellow debutant Alex Frazer also scoring the Ravens' first try
of the match. Kent Ravens' man of the match was Tom Claridge, who
converted all three tries. The Ravens next match is against London
Griffins next Saturday at Richmond College, kicking off at 12 noon.

The youth section of the Kent Ravens Rugby League Club, the Junior
Ravens, kick-started their preparations for the new season with
their first training session on the 5th March. The session was a
huge success and the youth players that had played for the Junior
Ravens in previous seasons were very happy to get their rugby league
boots back on, and the players new to the club and the sport also
enjoyed the chance to play the game for the first time.

One of the squad's members from last year, U13s Half Back Mylie
Jones, summed up the feeling after the session perfectly, `It was
good to get back to playing rugby league again.'

The Junior Ravens training sessions are split into two sections. The
minis, who are from the ages of 7-11, start training at 7pm, and the
Juniors, who are from the ages of 12-16 start at 7.30pm. Training
sessions take place every Wednesday at the Leigh Academy on Green
Street Green Road in Dartford.

The Junior Ravens are going to be playing in curtain raiser games
for the men's squad in the new season so there is the chance for the
Junior Ravens' teams to play at the very impressive Princes Park
Stadium in Dartford!

Last Saturday, members of Kent Ravens Rugby League Club attended the
second game of Super League XIII for Harlequins Rugby League. The
group met in London a few hours before the game kicked off, and
jumped on the train for the short journey from London to Twickenham.
Before the game the group went for a drink to catch up on the latest
news within the rugby league world.

Then having watched the match, which finished Quins RL 34-18
Wakefield Wildcats, the group headed to the Kings Bar in the East
Stand of Twickenham Stoop, the home ground of Quins RL. Whilst we
were in the bar, Mike `Stevo' Stephenson came in. For those of you
who do not know, Stevo was a Great Britain international, and won
the World Cup in 1972. He even scored a try to level the scores in
the final. He played for his hometown club, Dewsbury, where he won
the 1973 Championship Final against Leeds. He then moved to
Australia where he signed for Penrith Panthers, however having moved
overseas he did not play for Great Britain again after the World Cup
Final.

After his playing days had finished Stevo made a career for himself
in the media in Australia, before he returned to Britain to become
one of Sky Sports' experts for their rugby league coverage.

Whilst Stevo was at the bar having a drink many people wanted a
photo taken with this rugby league legend, and we did not want to
let the chance pass us by. Therefore we all got together and
gathered round Stevo, and had a photo taken of us with the big man.

The chance to see a professional rugby league team in action gives
the players and staff an opportunity to spend some time together
away from the training pitch, and get to know each other better off
the pitch.

The Ravens started their training for the new season at the
beginning of February, and the Quins games give the club days out
which help with team bonding. The Ravens train every Monday and
Wednesday at Leigh Technology Academy on Green Street Green Road in
Dartford at 7.30pm.

Rugby League is a sport that can be played by anybody and there is
no better time to start playing for the Junior Ravens than now! The
anticipation surrounding the new season, for both the Junior Ravens
and the senior teams, is growing by the day and everyone is looking
forward to the new season starting. Also with the rugby league
season being in the summer, it means that the sport is a great one
to keep you fit throughout the summer. Also, new skills will be
learned, it is fun and you'll make new friends.

Tracey Northam, one of the Joint Managers of the Junior Ravens
explains a little more, `Rugby league is a fast, action-packed game
and we are hoping to build on our youth sides' previous achievements
over the coming season. All you need to be is keen to join in, learn
new skills or improve on those you already have, so if you are 7 to
16 come along and give it a try we promise you will have fun and get
fit at the same time!'

The Junior Ravens are going to be playing in curtain raiser games
for the men's squad in the new season so therefore there is also the
chance to play at the very impressive Princes Park Stadium in
Dartford!

Tracey goes on to add, `And maybe like some of our other youth
players winning a place at the London origins training camp to
represent London. You will also receive a free season ticket for
Harlequins RL when you become a registered player.'

The Junior Ravens training sessions will start next Wednesday 5th
March at the Leigh Academy in Dartford. These training sessions are
split into two sections:

The minis (ages 7-11) will be starting at 7pm, and the Juniors (ages
12-16) will be starting at 7.30pm. Training sessions will then take
place every Wednesday onwards from the 5th March.

The Junior Ravens league matches do not start until after Easter but
there will be festivals for the young players to participate in, one
of which is likely to be hosted by the Kent Ravens, before the
league season kicks off.

So why not come along to a training session and give it a go, and
learn new skills and make new friends at the same time?!!

Ravens receive grant from The Kent People's Trust

Kent Ravens Rugby League Club has recently received a grant from The
Kent People's Trust. The Kent Ravens have received this grant
because The Trust want to invest in the Junior Ravens and youth
rugby league development in what is a traditional rugby union and
football area of Dartford.

The Kent People's Trust is a registered charity that has been
established with the support of Kent Police. The Trust helps to
provide financial assistance to groups that are working to improve
community safety and reduce crime in Kent.

This willingness to invest in youth rugby league development in
Dartford goes along with the aims of The Kent People's Trust. These
aims are to prevent crime and protect people and property from
criminal acts, and to advance education in all matters relating to
crime prevention, community safety, alcohol, drug or solvent abuse
or any matter affecting crime and disorder in the community. This
grant will help to give children in Dartford and Kent an opportunity
to take part in organised sport and learn a new discipline.
Hopefully the grant will also ensure that the Ravens can develop
more quality young players that will one day play for the Ravens
first team.

Also in partnership with Dartford Borough Council, 7 of the Kent
Ravens coaching structure successfully completed their emergency
First Aid training this week including Club Director, Vicki Bacon.

Join the Ravenettes and cheer on the Ravens!!!

With the Kent Ravens Rugby League Club's new season fast
approaching, the Ravens' cheerleaders are busy preparing for the
major part that they play in cheering the Ravens on!

The Ravenettes are a cheer dance group, which means that there is a
mixture of cheerleading and street dance involved.

Natalie Taylor, the head of the Ravenettes, explains, `The Junior
Ravenettes are learning the skills and working towards performing at
the stadium as well as in shows, it's all about learning new skills,
being active and having fun!'

The Junior Ravenettes (aged 6-17) currently hold classes on
Saturdays at Birkbeck School in Sidcup starting at 11.15am, and also
on Thursdays at Wentworth School in Dartford starting at 4.25pm.

Recently there has been some big news for the Junior Ravenettes and
the Ravenettes in general. This news is that a new session is
starting on Monday 18th February 2008 at Leigh Academy in Dartford
at 5pm. Each session will cost £4.25. This session will be held
every Monday from the 18th February in the brand new state of the
art dance studio at Leigh Academy. As Natalie Taylor, head of the
Ravenettes and Junior Ravenettes coach goes on to explain, `The new
session will be a street dance lesson that will help the cheerleader
to become a better dancer.'

Therefore if you want to have fun, learn new skills and meet new
people then why not join the Ravenettes?!!
