Raiders bounced back from two tough away losses in style as they thrashed Chipping Sodbury 7-0 at Sixways.

After a few tough away losses, the victory brought a sense of relief around Sixways as the Raiders found their shooting boots in style.

The better of the early chances were for Raiders. Inside a quarter hour, Cooper had multiply chances testing Liam Barrett, the best being a low driven effort going wide of the goal.

Cooper would then turn provider, with a bit of skill beating his man provided a ball into Monaghan who is in loads of space, places the ball into the oppositions net giving Raiders the lead.

Not long after again Cooper would hit a ball into the oppositions box which would find Fuller, who would nicely first time finish the ball past Barrett.

After providing two goals Cooper joined in the goals with a nice outside the boot shot which the keeper could only watch and stare as it flew into the bottom right corner.

The rest of half would be a lot quieter with both team having valid chances to score, Sauntson felt lucky and shot an effort from forty yards out seeing the ball blaze over the bar.

After two games without scoring, Raiders would find them self-three goals up at the interval and Chipping Sodbury would have a lot of work to get back into the match.

The visitors would start the brighter team in the second half with Jordan Lawrence testing Ryan Young from just outside box with the keeper having to tip the ball over the bar.

Raiders would deal with the early pressure from the opposition team and would find them self-creating multiply chances again with Jordan Murphy finding Monaghan in the box who managed to get a foot to it only seeing it go just wide of the post.

What followed was a flurry of Raiders goals, first up we would see a Cooper effort deflected straight into the path of Monaghan who would strike the ball into the top left corner just outside the box.

The substitute Olaloko, would see himself fouled in the penalty area just minutes after being on the pitch. Jordan Murphy would step up to take it and would convert it sending the keeper the wrong way.

Chipping Sodbury now looked deflated, and a poor clearance would find itself to Shay Willock in the box and the Walsall loanee would hit a low effort into the bottom right corner with Barrett left staring as the ball would roll past him.

And in the final minutes in the game Raiders would attack once more with Willock left unmarked scoring a tap in from five yards out.

Raiders will look to build on the thrashing next Saturday when they return to Sixways and face Bradford Town.
