Canberra have marked their first NRLW home game with an upset win, taking down competition heavyweights the Sydney Roosters 24-14.
Defying their tag as rank outsiders, the league newcomers turned in a brilliant opening 50 minutes in the second-round clash before digging deep to cling on for their maiden win in front of a strong crowd at GIO Stadium.
Back-to-back tries for former international rugby representatives - Australia's Grace Kemp and New Zealander Cheyelle Robins-Reti - saw the Raiders skip out to a 12-0 advantage early in the second half.
