BACK for a 10th season, the Statsbench introduces a new set of numbers.
Ever for innovation the SBRD* have coined the ‘BWS’, in line with the EFL media caller Ben Warren-Smith but will be more aptly known as ‘Best Winning Streak’ in the Statsbench.
The number represents the best winning streak between two teams. Not widely known for their emotion, the SBRD* did encourage me to include “Enjoy”.Premier Division Round 1WinsWinsDrawsStreakSouth Croydon3Balwyn110SC 1Vermont14Norwood60V 1Noble Park1Doncaster40D 3North Ringwood11Rowville130R 3Blackburn20Montrose130B 4
