Worthing Raiders moved fifth in the league with a 38-31 win at home to Wimbledon.
Three wins out of four represents a good start for their exciting new squad.
A crowd of about 350 were well entertained with 11 tries but Raiders’ coaches were not happy with the final 15 minutes of the game, when the team seemed to go to sleep.
Going to uncontested scrums made a massive impact on this last period.
Raiders felt they should have managed the latter stages of the contest much better, and the players were well aware of this.
Having said that there was much to admire in the performance overall and plenty of positives to build on.
Man of the match was awarded to Regin Pratt for his blockbuster performance in the scrum and especially with the ball in hand.
Tries were scored by Luke Gill, Christian Streater, Adam McLean, Pratt, Tom Sanderson and skipper Elliott Luke
Sanderson converted four of them.
