Despite the Tigers' relentless attacking efforts, the Raiders' goal-line defence held strong, keeping the score at 12-0 going into halftime.
The Raiders wasted no time after the break, with Pattie catching the opposition off guard and crashing over for another try to make it 18-0.
In the end, the Raiders' dominance and determination were too much for the Tigers to handle, securing a well-deserved victory and proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Flegg competition.
