Knockbreda form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first game of the season here at Breda Park. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from Knockbreda's eleven home games. Knockbreda has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. Scates and the players.

In their previous game, the manager G. Scates led his Knockbreda to a defeat in the Championship match away at Queen's University. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Breda Park. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ballyclare Comrades (1-7).

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Knockbreda at home. 0 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
