Penrith beats Raiders in NRL match outside usual host venues

BATHURST, Australia (AP) Australia’s National Rugby League moved outside its traditional ”home” venues on Saturday – from Bathurst in central New South Wales state to Darwin in the Top End of the Northern Territory.

At Bathurst, in the central tablelands of the state about 200 kilometers (120 miles) northwest of Sydney, two Matt Moylan try assists in the final three minutes led Penrith to a 24-20 comeback win over Canberra at the 10,000-seat Carrington Park stadium.

The Panthers trailed by eight points when Moylan put Corey Harawira-Naera over before the captain sent Tyrone Peachey across on the final play of the match.
