Two games and 9%.
They were much improved side on previous years, i'd think they will go well in D7R - but not sure i'd be having them favs just yet.. whilst they won 8 games last year, they "beat" Salisbury West who played an ineligible player early in the year, beat them when they were a rabble by the end of the year, and from memory didn't beat anyone above them?
Last years D6R was one of the worst I can recall in terms of the gaps between sides.
The year before, the Raiders won 2/18 and finished 2nd bottom - they were a better side last year than that season, but it does show how much D6 changed over 12 months.
If SWest hadn't played the ineligible player they would have lost, such was his influence on the game.
Regardless, I think you'll find a few of the older blokes finding a home in our reserves this year, adding some much needed experience to the side.

The standard of coaching was out of this world.
Agreed on both accounts, very good standard with Woody South, West Croydon dominating, then Brahma, Ingle Farm, Trinity, Mitchell Park very even, and if Lutheran didn't suffer so many injuries (and school holidays) no doubt they would've been around the mark.
Awesome numbers on the track last night. Keep it up lads. Good to see so many new and old faces out having a kick. The skills are looking really sharp and it's only going to get better. Exciting things to come this year for both grades.
Ian Williamson also leaving eastern park to play for central United, with him on board they will be unstoppable.. give him the medal and give them the flag
