[5][6] The first season of the men's Raiders team was impacted by the historical low investment in training and playing facilities in the north by the state body and facilities' owners, a large playing roster causing frequent team changes, significant travel commitments for players, a lack of Tasmanian Tiger (State) representative players in their ranks, and limited support from some North Tasmania Cricket Association (NTCA) and Cricket North West (CNW) clubs who saw the Raiders as rivals.
The Raiders management committee proposed the creation of a women's first grade CTPL team which was accepted by Cricket Tasmania for the 2019/20 season.
[10][11][12] Robert Stewart and Darren Simmonds were announced as the co-coaches of the women's team,[13] which went on to win the Raiders' first championship.
[17][18] The 2023-24 season saw the first 'home grown' Raider, Aidan O'Connor, to progress through the development program to the 1st Grade squad to receive a 'rookie' contract with Cricket Tasmania[19][20] and achieve national representative honours with the Australian under-19 squad competing in the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup in South Africa.
This resulted in the Raiders being removed from a preliminary final only a few days before that match, thereby ending the team's season.
