EAGLES SWOOP ON RAIDERS FOR A RARE WIN
BARROW RAIDERS 22
SHEFFIELD EAGLES 28
PADDY MCATEER
Northern Competitions Stadium, Sunday
SHEFFIELD got two points with a scoreline that flattered the Raiders, who were not at the races until the final stages when they ran in twelve points; but the gate had closed on them as they tried to snatch a draw.
Sheffield never really had to get into top gear, playing the basics and capitalising upon some shoddy defensive work by the home side.
It was on the cards early when the reliable Josh Wood made a hash of things at a play-the-ball close to the Eagles’ line, He knocked on and an opportunity went begging.
