Dalbeattie Star challenge Edusport Academy for honour and victory.

9-1-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Edusport Academy when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 15 matches are 34-20 (scored/conceded).

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dalbeattie and Edusport Academy.
