Centres Jeremy Hawkins and Andrew Heffernan both scored hat tricks this afternoon in the Canberra Raiders NYC side’s 46-6 drubbing of the Parramatta Eels.
Co-captain Hawkins led the way all afternoon, making a number of damaging runs throughout the game chalking up three tackle breaks on top of his three tries, while Heffernan showed football maturity well beyond his 18 years, scoring his hat trick through his excellent support play
Canberra were in control the whole game, completely out muscling the Eels in both attack and defence to record a comprehensive victory in freezing conditions.
The Raiders opened proceedings in the 8th minute when quick hands down the right side saw Jonathan Reuben cross. Unfortunately, Mitch Cornish was unable to convert.
Hawkins extended the home side’s four minutes later, after swatting off two would be tacklers close to the line. This time Cornish converted.
The Raiders scored their third unanswered try in the 18th minute when a bust up the middle of the field from five eighth Jordan Worboys culminated in a try under the posts to centre Andrew Heffernan.
