Meanwhile in the men’s competition, an under strength Karuah Roos side travelled to Stroud to take on the Raiders.

The Roos started strong, jumping out to a 12-0 lead with Jack Croese finding his way over the line with a strong run next to the posts with Aiden Bills kicking the extras.

Next to score was Ryan Saunders with a huge effort, bumping off would be defenders, with Aiden Bills again adding the extras.

After the positive start, the game became an end to end affair, with Stroud next to score.

A penalty goal close to half time saw Karuah leading 12-8 at the break.

At the resumption of the game, the Roos lost front rower Jack Croese to a shoulder injury, and the team struggled to complete sets and get out of their own end.

After a mountain of possession and with fatigue setting in, Stroud crossed the line for five unanswered tries in the second half.

Next Saturday will be Karuah’s first double header for the season with the Rooettes taking on Abermain at 1.45pm before the Roos take on Tea Gardens at the 3pm kick off.
