Chasing down the visitors' total of 126, the home side started solidly through South Launceston's Angus Foster and Ulverstone's Julius Kerwin, before losing three quick wickets to be teetering at 3-33.

Launceston's Will Bennett joined Kerwin at the crease, with the Coastal product dismissed for 32 in early days of their partnership as the reliable Lion set about steadying the ship.

Bennett, who has played eight Cricket North first-grade matches this season, would go on to top score for the junior Raiders, amassing 39 off 67 balls, as he and Westbury's Joel Lloyd (27 off 23) saw the side over the line.

North Hobart wicketkeeper Sam Kile had a dream day behind the stumps, taking three catches and a stumping to consistently keep his side in the contest alongside Tasmanian under-19 quick Nicholas Davis, who took 2-18 off his seven overs.

With the ball, Riverside duo Sam Artis (4-23) and captain Cooper Anthes (3-18) celebrated the spoils of the victory, claiming seven wickets between them to decimate the Demons' middle to lower order.

Artis claimed both openers to edge the Raiders in front before Davis (41) and Will Collins (37) began rebuilding their innings - putting on 38 for the third wicket.

Patrick Quinlan picked up where Davis left off but as Anthes took his wicket, things went from bad to worse for the Demons, losing 7-23.

The Raiders have the bye on Wednesday before recommencing their vacation cup campaign against University of Tasmania, who tasted defeat in their first match, at NTCA 2 on Thursday.
