The champions showed why they're just that as they put the sword to Neal Cohen's side with this comfortable win.
Ben Hart, Rob Samuelson, Jamie Freed and player-manager Rob Richman all scoring the goals.
Raides captain Richard Sacks said afterwards: "The only two characters who would have been happy playing in the mess we endured today would have been Pinky and Perky. Rubbish weather, rubbish pitch, rubbish performance.
"We won 4-0, job done, thank you very much. Can I go home now as I can’t feel my hands, I’m drenched in mud and my feet are soaked through.” Match Report

L'Equipe 11 Pinner 1
L'Equipe put their Minor Cup misery behind them as they went goal crazy against Pinner.
Jason Miller helped himself to four of them, Joey Kolirin chipped in with a hat-trick, Mark Singer's first of the season, a Josh Lewis penalty, Paul Rubinstein header after a five-month lay off with injury on his first game back, and a Vivian Emanuel own goal completing the rout.
L'Equipe manager Oliver Manson said: "We ripped them to shreads really, and bar from their keeper and some poor finishing it could have reached an even more ridiculous scoreline.
"It's the perfect response after going out of the cup. Despite the dissapointment the players showed not one sign of a hangover. I'm very proud of them all today, now we should go on and clinch that last promotion spot, no one could say we don't deserve it!"
