No indication that this is actually a rivalry, as opposed to two teams who are obliged to play each other regulalry because of the nature of Australian soccer. The one reference provided makes no mention of any notable rivalry between the two clubs. Very little sourced prose making this look more like WP:CRUFT than a genuine rivalry. There seem to be no notable events associated with this "derby" bar the matches themselves other than a dive by one player in one match. Difficult to see how this passes WP:GNG Fenix down (talk) 08:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
