And after tallying four wins overall in their 2019-20 season, that's exactly what the Greater Northern Raiders did.

The team's inaugural coach Andrew Gower stood down in March 2020, making way for state cricket legend Tim Coyle in July.

So far this season, the Raiders sit at second-last on the Cricket Tasmania Premier League ladder with two wins, seven losses and three draws.

But as the season has progressed, the margin of defeat has been trimmed as the young team improves its overall form.

"There were some missed opportunities in our program, we thought we could've won at least two or more of those games," Coyle said.

"The good thing about that is that we've been in positions to win games, the next step is to capitalise on those positions and win more than we lose.

"It's experience that's absolutely priceless for us; to be in those games with a winning chance, now we've got to learn from what we didn't get right."

With inaugural captain Miles Barnard tied down with soccer commitments, the mantle of leadership fell to Westbury bowling all-rounder Oliver Wood.

"He's [Wood] a good communicator, that's one thing he does really well," Coyle said.

"He's got a great ownership of his position in the team and he's got a strong commitment to the Raiders program as a whole - those things are really important."

The North and North-West-based team managed to escape the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Tasmania, allowing for the season to commence largely unaffected.

One change incurred by COVID was the inclusion of Victorian club player Evan Gulbis as well as Carlton colleague Brayden Stepien during the state's outbreaks.

Both them, and Hurricane addition Tim David, added a boost of experience and knowledge for the Raiders' younger players to feed off.

The development of young greater northern talent has continued to be a strong point for the side.

"I think Jono [Jones, of Mowbray] and Spencer [Hayes, also of Mowbray] are two different examples of how it [Raiders] can benefit their cricket," Wood said.

"For Spencer ... playing cricket at a higher level and playing against state cricketers allows him to learn off some of the best, and also to get the confidence that his skillset more than stands up against some of the strong players and clubs in Hobart."

Coyle said Devonport batting all-rounder Sam O'Mahony also showed progress in his Raiders tenure.

"He [O'Mahony] has been identified by the system previously but had struggled to put together consistent performances," he said.

"Now, he's found belief in his own game ... and he's now going out and dominating with the bat and there's been positives in his bowling."
