The struggle continues for the Port Douglas Raiders rugby union team after losing 40-14 to Barron Trinity Bulls in Port Douglas on Saturday.
The Raiders did stage a second half fight back after trailing 19-0 with tries by Anthony Eldridge and Pete Gilmour, which were both converted by George Chadwick.
But the Bulls hit back with 21 points and this was enough to seal a comfortable victory.
Try as this did to play entertaining rugby with their limited possession, the Raiders were let down by constant handling errors and a solid Bulls Defence.
The Raiders play their remaining fixtures at home and on Saturday host Penryn.
