After going through last year’s Football South Premier League with 18 wins from as many games, it has now strung together a further 12 this season.
Seldom do you see a team as dominant as this.
The nature of football — in which draws are more common than in most sports — makes the streak even more important.
Coach Malcolm Fleming, who took over from Tim Horner this season, said it was something of which the club was proud.
"Obviously, that [streak] dates back to last season and it’s something that’s never happened before.
"Eighteen wins in a row was a first from anybody last year.
"To keep that going to 30 is something we’re quite proud of, actually.
"Especially those players that have been in the team all of last year."
He said the team had made a habit of winning and it was becoming hard to pick his starting line-up, with so many players impressing.
The last time it did not win a game was at the end of the 2015 season and it could sew up a fourth straight title this weekend, nearly a month out from its final game. There had been some pressure coming into the year.
The team wanted to ensure little things, such as preventing opponents taking points off them, alongside wanting to hold on to the Blair Davidson Trophy.
"Yeah, it does a wee bit," he said when asked if last season had any impact on this season.
"I think every other team that wants to play us obviously wants to beat us and take points off us, which is good.‘‘But the pressure comes in that we don’t want them to take the points off us."
Fleming said the team could be only one bad day away from slipping up, but felt it did a good job of playing and fighting to win for the full game.
That ensured that, even though it had been run close at times, it had been able to get through to come out on top.
While he said this was obviously a good Caversham team, the local league was not as strong as it could be.
He felt there were several factors influencing that.
Those included many of the region’s more experienced players opting to play in over-35 leagues, or a second-tier competition.
That took quality players, who just did not have the time to commit to top-tier football, away from the league.
Alongside that, he said having some teams deferring games over the university holidays hurt the competition.
It led to the competition being disrupted for the teams that wanted to play through and meant the season was taken less seriously by the players who picked and chose when to play.
That led back to the question of whether a South Island premier league should be set up.
Fleming said while he would like to play against better competition, it was important to get the local league in better shape.
