There’s something peculiar going on in the Murray Football League reserves competition at the moment.

A four-horse race of unbeaten sides heads the top of the table and, while that’s hardly uncommon in the grand scheme of things, one team is making things look a little too easy.

Put simply, Cobram is on a wrecking path in 2025.

The Tigers currently boast an eye-popping percentage of 2407.7 after three rounds, conceding just 13 points — yes, points, not goals — from their opening matches.

While its output of 44 goals across three games is hardly small on the scoring front, Cobram’s ability down the other end to deny opponents a sniff inside 50 is truly remarkable.

It’s also making the percentages of fellow unbeaten sides Congupna, Moama and Tongala (all more than 400) look paltry in comparison.
