With a third of the season* gone a few 'take outs' (18 game season*)
  • Northern now sitting on 10 points from just 6 games which means that they have more points than FC Twenty 11 - 7pts, secured from 36 SL games and Mosgiel - 9pts, from 18 SL games. No team has been relegated that have reached double digits 
  • Cashmere Technical now match their best start to the season with 18 points, but goals wise best yet with 35 For - 2 Against - compared to 29 - 3  
  • Ferrymead Bays continue on with their best start to a season with 15 points, previous best - 10 
  • Christchurch United now with their worst start to a season with 8 points, previous worst - 15 - for the first time ever United have not featured in the 'top 3' on the table so far this season  
  • Nelson Suburbs now with their worst start to a season with 6 points, previous worst - 7
  • Dunedin City Royals now with their worst start to a season with 5 points, previous worst - 7
  • 15 Clean sheets - Technical leading the way on 4, Bays 3, Northern 2, United, Coastal, Royals, Suburbs, Nomads and Selwyn all on 1, Wanaka 0
  • Games scored - Technical and Coastal 6, Bays and Selwyn 5, United, Suburbs Nomads, Northern and Wanaka 5, Royals 3
    
You forgot to mention that Selwyn has already gathered more points than last season. 4 points currently and only 3 last season. They also have more wins, 1 win so far and none last year.

I was talking about this with my mates on the drive back to Dunners but it sorta feels like Selwyn didn't necessarily improve, more so the competition got worse. That said for Selwyn supporters it probably makes little difference.

A major milestone stat I somehow missed was Cashmere Technical becoming the 1st club to notch up 300 goals since the Southern League commenced with an eighteen-game season in 2022. Their 300th was achieved in the 2nd round of the season against Nomads when Garbhan Coughlan scored the opening goal for Tech, with Tech's tally now 329- from 78 game, averaging 4.22 goals per game

Christchurch United currently on 285 goals so closing in to be the next to join the '300' club.

Who will be the next to join the '200' club, with Nelson Suburbs (77 games) currently on 194 and Coastal Spirit (78 games) on 192.

Selwyn joined the '100' club in the opening round when Blake Lang scored against Technical. 

Points wise, Technical five points away from the first club to reach 200 points, United currently on 187. Nomads just a point away from reaching triple figures.
