The SS statisticians have been positively tumescent with excitement this close season, pouring over the data emerging from the match-up reports.

What is abundantly clear is that you don’t want Ian and Bally on your team – they have never won a Larder Cup together....the only pairing with that unenviable record.

Looking deeper at the pairings, Andy & Jase are the most successful with a 78% win rate, followed by Andy & Kev and Kev & Jase on 75%.

Just above Ian & Bally, you have Junior & Bally on 20% and Ian & Junior on 31%.
