The Canberra Raiders have secured a thrilling golden point victory over the Dragons at WIN Stadium, continuing their impressive NRLW debut season.

Led by Simaima Taufa and Apii Nicholls, the Raiders clinched their third win from four games with a 19-18 triumph.

It was Zahara Temara's field goal in the 74th minute that sealed the victory for the Green Machine.

Despite a back-and-forth battle, the Raiders managed to withstand a late surge from the Dragons and are now poised to enter the top four for the first time this season.

The Dragons struck first with a try from Bobbi Law, but a crucial mistake on the kick-off allowed the Raiders to capitalize and put Shakiah Tungai over for a try.

Chante Temara extended the Raiders' lead with a try from dummy half, and sister Zahara's successful conversion put the Green Machine ahead 12-6.
