Two milestones, a junior exhibition game and Quiz Night! And to top it off, two wins!

The Lil Raiders and Lil Hawkers took to the ground for the second junior exhibition game of the season. HDFC is very proud of the Lil Raiders and how far they've come in their first season together. With only a few games left, we look forward to planning for Junior Raiders in 2019 and beyond. A big thanks to the Lil Hawkers and their families for coming along to support our exhibition games this season. We hope to continue the newly founded tradition next year.

The A Grade were determined to notch up their fifth win of the season. Mitchell Park proved to be a worthy competitor and yet again, the game came down to the wire. The Raiders managed to hold on in the final minutes of the game to celebrate an overdue win.

Houghton Districts: 9.16 70
Mitchell Park: 9.13 67

The Raiders travelled to Central United and they knew they were in for a challenge!

The Reserves made hard work of it, whilst Central United didn't make it easy. Hendo made an appearance on the field, even scoring himself a goal. Perhaps it was his fortitude in the final quarter that steered them to victory, and in the end, the Raiders got their twelfth consecutive win.
