Headcam footage (my head) from the West Wales Raiders game. My editing software has a glitch so I can't currently level up the footage. It's being fixed but too late for this compilation so it's a bit lop-sided in places. Also, missed the last two tries due to turning off the camera too soon. Ho hum!

'Chewy' top scores with 18 as Roughyeds pile on the points IN the absence of Paul Crook, rested for the first time this season, Dave Hewitt stepped up to the mark in our big win at West Wales Raiders by top scoring with 18 points from two tries and five goals.

We went over three times against Hemel where the tries were disallowed. I'd hoped for a bigger score than 74-6 but as was said back in the bar afterwards, the total was probably about par. Last week WW Raiders were 0-58 down against Donny in the second-half before they scored themselves in the 54th minute. The two teams then traded a pair of tries each until the 80 minutes were up. To me that looks like the visitors taking their foot off the gas and WW Raiders taking advantage. I'd like us to better the 80 points scored against Blackwood in 2010 and also better the points difference if they score. Then I can keep myself amused updating Wikipedia etc AFAIK the most tries scored in a game for us is seven. Tries: 7 James Miller (v Barry, 31/10/1908). Let's beat that too. Most goals in a match: Goals:14 Bernard Ganley (v Liverpool City, 04/04/59). Let's have that while we're at it. Most points in a match: Points: 34 Andy Ballard (v London Skolars, 02/05/2009) Chris Baines (v Hunslet, 20/09/2009) Lewis Palfrey (v Hemel 09/08/2015) Let's go for the full house. All a bit of fun of course and WW Raiders may well have other ideas on the back of their second-half recovery last week. 2 points will do Oh eck, what if it all goes Pete Tong and I'm present at that defeat we'll always want to forget. No, that's not going to happen.
