The Ravens senior mens team suffered their first loss of the season away to the Carrick Cougars. The Ravens traveled without a large proportion of their squad due to the absence of Darren McGovern (family commitments) Fu Faapito (coaching) and four players from the under 19 squad. Also missing was Ireland international Aaron Lawless who was back from Tralee on a study break only to fall ill before the game. Without these players the Ravens where certain to struggle but the players who did attend gave a great fight. Marius Iasiskis and Mindaugus Savicius again where on great scoring form with 20 points each and Tadas Narbistas scored 14. Though the Ravens needed a bench to help these guys maintain a threat all game long. Leading by two at the first quarter and down one at half time showed the Ravens that they can compete with the Cougars though the third and forth quarter the six guys got tired and eventually the Cougars ran out to win by 13 points.
