Last week, we picked up four points, starting with a superb 3-1 away win at Cinderford. Jake Collins and Prince Henry were on the scoresheet, while Bailey Fuller provided three assists.

We then drew 1-1 with Mangotsfield, where Captain Jordan Murphy rescued a point in the 94th minute with a confident, powerful penalty.

A game of two penalties where the away side scored their only shot on target and sat back throughout.

A disappointing result, but Raiders showed fight and determination to keep going at the Mangotsfield goal and get something out of the game.

Today, we begin with a tough home clash against Fairford, a side that will be desperate to win if they are going to make the playoffs at the final stages.

They currently sit in 7th place, just four points behind 5th-place Cirencester.

The two sides couldn't be split earlier in the season, as the game ended in a 0-0 draw, giving Raiders a chance to take four points off Fairford and end their unbeaten run of six games.
