The Raiders looked very organized and had possession of the ball all the way through the first half. They had several goal scoring opportunities but could not find the final ball apart from a spill from their keeper that LH slotted. The 1st Half finished 0 - 1 The Raiders continue with the pressure through the 2nd Half and JC found an extra yard in front of goal and lobbed the keeper which SB made sure finished in the back of the net. The match finished 0 - 2

Man of Match	PA
The Raiders were the better team in both halves and created loads of goalscoring opportunities but could not find the final ball. NM put the Raiders ahead when he attacked a corner floated in by JT 15min into the game. Bury then equalized on 25min with both teams finishing the first half level (1 - 1). Bury came out strong at the beginning of the 2nd half and caught the Raiders sleeping and scored 2mins from their kick off. The Raiders woke up and took the game to them with LH finding space at the far post to level the game. The Raiders looked destined to take 3 points when LH shot slipped through Bury's keepers hand to put the Raiders ahead. Then against the run of play in the dying minutes of the game Bury found space behind the Raiders defense and equalized. The game eventually finished 3 - 3.

Goalscorers	JC(2), DG, SB
Man of Match	JC
The weather and pitch conditions were terrible but the Raider played the most outstanding game they have ever played, passing the ball around and keeping the opposition under pressure from the beginning to the end. JC opened his goal scoring account with two goals in the 1st half which were scored through some excellent team work. DG topped it off with another goal in the 1st half giving the Raiders a 3 - 0 lead at half time. The 2nd half saw lots more goal scoring opportunities for the Raiders especially on the debut of their new signing JK but as the conditions worsened the ball kept getting stuck in the mud. Then in the dying minutes of the match SB skillfully threaded the ball into the net from the right goal line to give the Raiders a comfortable win of 4 - 0.

Goalscorers	DG, JK(2)
Man of Match	RA
The Raiders were the better team in the first half but found they were easily pushed off the ball by the strong Enfield Colts Orange players. Their first shot on target didn't arrive until 10mins into the game. It looked as though the Raiders were going to score from a superbly struck free kick from AB which unfortunately found the keepers hands. The 1st Half finished 0 - 0. The 2nd Half showed a more determined and stronger Raider Team who put alot more pressure on the Enfield Colts defense and eventually DG found space on the far post and scored in the 45 minute to put the Raiders ahead. They continued with the pressure and after a goalmouth scramble JK scored his first goal for the Raiders on 50mins. 2 minutes later JK received a through ball to score his 2nd which he calmly slotted into the far post. The Game finished 0 - 3

3 Feb 07	Cuffley Youth Stags / Home / League	Won 3 - 1
Goalscorers	JK(2), JC
Man of Match	AB
The Raiders found themselves having to battle hard against Cuffley Youth Staggs and from the kick off seemed to take 10mins to settle into the passing game we're used to. They looked certain to concede on 12mins when Cuffley's Right Wing beat the defense and lobbed NT as he closed him down but the game was kept level due to NM sprinting back and clearing the ball off the line. This seemed to wake the Raiders up and SB made one of his trademark runs down the right wing on 14mins all the way to the goal line and pulled a cross back across the box to JK who put the Raiders ahead. The Raiders were then awarded their 2nd Free Kick in front of goal, which were both sweetly struck by AB but this time it was attacked by JC who put the Raiders ahead 2 - 0 in the 1st Half. Cuffley seemed to be a different team in the 2nd Half with the Raiders finding themselves on the back foot too often and the centre backs being out paced several times. The inevitable goal from Cuffley came on 42mins when their striker found a couple of yards behind the defense and slotted the ball passed the approaching DJ who couldn't get down quick enough to get a touch on it. The Raiders battled on and had several opportunities to put the game to bed, which looked definite when JC received the ball in the 6 yard box in front of an open net but unfortunately spooned it over the cross bar (bet he couldn't do that again). The game was finally over on 60mins when JC lobbed the ball over Cuffley's defense and JK sprinted through and scored. The Game finished 3 -1

17 Feb 07	St Mary's FC / Home / League	Won 2 - 1
Goalscorers	LH(2)
Man of Match	CC
The Raiders took time to settle against St Mary's in the first half and did not create many goal scoring opportunities against their strong defense. The first half finished 0 - 0. The Game seemed to open up more in the 2nd half and when LH found himself on the end of a 2nd played corner cross from CC, he attacked the ball with his head to put the Raiders ahead 1 - 0. The Raiders had several more 1/2 chances but could not find the finish. St. Mary's were given a gift on 40mins when their striker found himself with lots of space from NT's goal kick and without any pressure struck the ball at NT which unfortunately rolled into the net, to level the game. This seemed to wake the Raiders up and as they turned the pressure up St Mary's defense and goal keeper had to work their socks off. It looked like SM was set to score when he deflected a CC corner into the goal but St Mary's keeper managed to keep it out. Them on 50mins LH again found himself on the end of a cross but this time from JK who had motored passed St Mary's left back and with LH bicycle kick the Raiders scored the winning goal. The darker side of the game was shown when St Mary's linesmen got booked but the overall spirit of the players on the pitch easily over shadowed this. The game finished 2 - 1.

Goalscorers	JK, CC (Freekick)
Man of Match	SB
This game was the biggest upset for the Raiders who had not lost a game in the league until now. The Raiders were very slow to start and conceded 2 goals in under 10 minutes which seemed to be due to them under estimating their opponents. The game changed when JK & LH striking partnership was introduced on 20 minutes and JK scored when he lobbed the keeper with in a minute of being on the pitch. The Raiders were then awarded a free kick on 27mins which CC struck into the goal to level the score going into the 2nd Half. The Raiders again sat back at the beginning of the 2nd Half and when Panathinaikos Striker ran havoc in the penalty area, without a challenge he struck the ball into the net putting Panathinaikos ahead 2 - 3 which was the final goal in the match. The Raiders should have walked away with at least a draw but with the untold attempts on goal they were either given offside or left the shot too late.

The Raiders overall performance in the game was brilliant dominating possession in both halves and creating untold goal scoring opportunities but the finish seems to be alluding them. The only goal of the game was a controversial penalty awarded for a ball to hand incident 6mins into the 2nd half.

24 Mar 07	Enfield Colts Orange / Home / League	Won 2 - 1
Goalscorers	SB, JK
Man of Match	JT
The Raiders had to pull out all the stops to get a result against Enfield Colts team of 10. The Raiders kept possession well but after a goalkeeper blunder by DJ on 8mins, when the ball rolled through his legs, the Raiders found themselves 0 - 1 down. Both teams battled hard all the way up to half time but the Raiders could not find a chink in Enfield Colts determined defense. The Raiders kept the pressure on in the second half and finally when SB found himself unmarked in the front of goal on 36mins was able to equalize. The Raiders were awarded a penalty on 40mins when LH was brought down in the area. DG struck the penalty well but Enfield Colts keeper managed to get a hand to it. The Raiders looked set to concede when confusion set in with NM & CC allowing Enfields striker to get through unchallenged but NT closed him down quickly to stop him shooting. The Raiders were awarded a corner on 48mins and JK got his head to a nicely taken corner from JT to score the winning goal. The Game finished 2 - 1

Man of Match	NM
The Raiders found themselves under a lot of pressure in the first half having to play at the bottom of the hill with a strong wind in their faces and conceded 3 goals but there was a touch of hope when LH scored when he attacked a free kick. 1st Half finished 3 - 1 The Raiders took the game to Cuffley in the 2nd half and loaded their striking force by switching to a 3 - 4 - 3 formation but unfortunately conceded again when Cuffley broke on 45mins. The Raiders stepped up a gear and continually attacked cuffley's goal with DG lobbing the keeper on 48mins and LH scoring his 2nd on 56mins. Unfortunately the game seemed to be one of near misses for the Raiders who could not finish their chances and the game eventually finished 4 - 3.

Goalscorers	LH, DG, SB
Man of Match	NT
The Raiders started strong against Minchenden holding possession well but had a bit of trouble with their fast No. 25 at the back. The Raiders were awarded a penalty on 17mins which SM nervously struck straight at the keeper. The Raiders kept their chins up and increased the attack which eventually resulted in a goal when Minchenden's keeper spilled the ball from a shot from JK into the path of DG, which he calmly placed in the back of the net. The next goal came 9mins later (29mins) when the Raiders were awarded a free kick that LH got onto the end of. The 1st Half finished 2 - 0. The Raiders found themselves under a bit more pressure in the 2nd Half and due to NT excellent goal keeping the Raiders maintained the 2 goal cushion. Again the Raiders had lots of scoring opportunities but failed to finish. Then on 27mins SB went on one of his trademark runs up the left wing beating Minchenden's defense and calmly shot the ball into the goal to put the raiders ahead 3 - 0, which was the final score.

Man of Match	JK
The game started with the Raiders dominating possession in Midfield and feeding ball after ball through to the Strikers but they couldn't finish their chances. This continued for 20mins until the substitutions and the Saints seemed to get more of a holding in Midfield and then against the run of play with some panic in defense and a goalkeeping howler, scored to put the Raiders 0 - 1 down at halftime. The goal lead seemed to lift the Saints in the 2nd Half but the Raiders stood up to the challenge and eventually SB ricocheted a 2nd ball off the Saints Goalkeeper to level the game. The Saints goalkeeper then shone for the rest of the game making save after save from the Raiders attacking onslaught until JK scored the winning goal for the Raiders.
