Stat Attack

- Madras finished last season next to bottom in ninth place with 11 points on the board, a full 14 points behind Loko in fifth. [2005/06 League Table]

- Madras were last seasons lowest scorers with only 27 goals in 18 games, however, they only conceded 59 which considering a ninth place finish was not too bad.

- This season they were victorious in their first game with a 4-0 drubbing of Barnes, but since then have lost their last two games to Hendrix FC 2-1 and Uncle Bob's FC 6-1.

- Loko have had a mixed start to the season by getting a win, draw and loss a piece. Winning 8-1 at Ladbroke, drawing 1-1 with Auckland and losing 2-1 to West Ken Kings.

- A win for Loko and other results going our way could see us back at the top of the table by Sunday evening.
