While the team's bowling held visiting North Hobart to 199 runs, the Raiders could only conjure 42 of their own at Windsor Park on Saturday.

The team fell victim to a bowling onslaught at the hands of North Hobart's state representatives Thomas Rogers (six wickets) and former Launceston bowler Alex Pyecroft (four).

This included a pair of golden ducks for Riverside duo Cooper Anthes and James Simpson.

Launceston's Alistair Taylor topped the team with 15 runs including two fours.
