VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Braves Comeback Falls Short, Losing 4-3 to Nepean Friday in CCHL

Brockville – The Nepean Raiders hung on for a 4-3 win over the Brockville Braves on Friday night in CCHL action.

The goal by Rayne Jameson (Boudet, Fergusson) tied the game early in the second. But three straight Raider goals set the Braves back.

Braves goals by Cohen Gill (Ross, Karamidas) and Tom Boudet made it close but no cigar.
