Victory over our rivals

[ErnSal]

Colts 1-0 EK
I wasn't able to make the game but my son was there and he was able to give me the details. A great victory! To beat EK and not to concede a goal and to knock them out of the cup (the cup that we lost to them in the final last year) What a result! Another perfect victory!
In my mind, EK are our greatest rivals in the Lowland League. I see our games against them as the New Town Derby. Of course, the Cumbernauld derby would be against Clyde and that might be something for the future.
I still see our bogey team as the Spartans. (Even though we have beaten them once, I think)And I noticed that the last time we played BSC on their website the game was labelled as the yellow derby.
I suppose these are examples of how traditions begin.

2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats against Spartans Ernsal, with all 3 defeats coming in our first season (one of which was a cup game). 7 points from the last 9 and 7 points each side over the 3 seasons so far, which is a great return fit Colts given Spartans are (in my opinion anyway) the best footballing side we've played every season of the 3.

EK have definitely had the upper hand with 4 wins from 8 games (we've played them more than anyone else). 2 wins for Colts and 2 draws.

This week's opponents, Gala, are as close to a bogey team as we've had over the piece, with only 1 win (and 3 draws) from 4 attempts. Something to fire the players up for the weekend perhaps.

Thanks for the stats, admin. I can see why I think of the Spartans as our bogey team because they were one of the few teams that beat us convincingly in the first season. I think what the stats show is that we are capable of beating any team in the Lowland League. Would I be right in saying that over our first two seasons we managed to beat every team in the Lowland League?

No worries Ernsal.

Nearly. 

The only side in the LL we have not beaten in a competitive fixture is the new boys of EduSport, who we have only played once thus far. Everyone else we have beaten at least once.
