With two games of the season remaining, playoffs apart, how does our league record this year compare with recent years?
By any standard, it's been a fine season. Looking back over the past 15 years, we've only broken the 60 points barrier on three previous occasions, we've only scored more than 70 once before - last season. Proof conclusive of the attractive Sheerin attacking style - we've far exceeded our average goals for in a season
Something has to give and it's in defence. We're on track to hit our long-term average of 52-53 Goals Against over the season
