Valentine form and stats

Valentine have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Northern Nsw. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The Valentine crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to Charlestown City Blues here at Cahill Oval. As you see from the result above, Valentine suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, Valentine won a home game hosting Edgeworth Eagles (1-0).

The Valentine fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Valentine defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
