SINCE winning the Nambucca Challenge Cup in March the Urunga Raiders have been unstoppable in Coastal League One Women and now have their sights on the State Cup.

The Raiders have an impeccable record of nine wins from nine matches and have been scoring goals for fun this season.

Urunga coach Trevor Martin and the Raiders now head to Newcastle to take on the best in the state.

“We’re playing the Women’s State Cup this weekend, which will be against teams from the Newcastle NPL and semi-professional clubs which have W-League players,” he said.

“We’ve previously gone down as a composite rep team, but this year it will be as the Raiders.

“Last year we beat the team that actually won it (Maitland FC), and we get a lot of respect when we play at the State Cup and I think we will do well again this year.”

The Raiders will be seeking to continue their fine form which includes a 3-1 win over the Boambee Eagles and an 8-0 win over Coffs City Lionesses last weekend.
