That extends to four games against Hadspen alone - six should the Tigers also include T20 wins over the Cheftains - after a three-wicket win in the semi-final showdown.
Captain Jackson Blair has every right to feel confident, but also recognises that past performances will not dictate the premiership's outcome.
"Whatever has happened in the season has happened. We're not going to take too much out of the rest of the season," Blair said.
"Finals games are a lot different anyway. But in terms of confidence, we will take a massive confidence boost out of a few of those games, especially the close ones, the nailbiters, going our way.
"We do take a lot of confidence out of that knowing when the pressure is on us, we can still get the job done."
The Tigers took out all 12 matches, along with three rain-affected draws, but also on three occasions Hadspen came close to ending the run.
Blair felt there is a strong self-belief to take home the crunch moments should the game go down to the wire.
"We're into backing each other and to backing all of our players," Blair said.
"Whether it's a No.10 or 11 going out there and knocking the last 20 runs off or the fourth or fifth change bowler taking the last wicket or two. We can get the job done no matter the circumstances."
Hadspen captain-coach Liam Reynolds feels like the gap has always been closer than the two-game deficit on the season ladder suggests.
That was enough of a trigger to heap the pressure back onto the side's fierce rival.
"I thought our first two games against them could've gone either way - they won by one wicket in one and four runs in the other," he said.
"I think there's not much of a gap between us to be fair. As we know cricket is a funny game and on any given day any side can produce heroics to get their side over the line.

"Longford going through undefeated, it comes with a bit more certain pressure.
"It's a great feat to go undefeated all year. It is just a little bit more external pressure to make sure they finish with an undefeated season."
But Hadspen also heads into a grand final match-up as the defending champions.
The tag does not sit terribly comfortably either for the Chieftains, who have moved on since ending the Tigers' reign 12 months earlier.
"As much as we're in a position to go back to back, we don't look at that as a group," Reynolds said.
"We've had a fair few turnover in the group from last year to this year, so externally maybe but inside our group, we don't take that on board and we just want to get the job done on Saturday."
Hadspen qualified for the season decider on the back of a thumping defeat of ACL.
The Bluebacks were out for 109 and the Chieftains ran down the target in the 18th over for a nine-wicket win.
Reynolds felt the side fine-tuned its preparation for one last bite at the Tigers.
"It's always good to take that sort of winning momentum into any game," he said.
"It was good that we could bowl really well last week and that our top-order did the job, so it was really pleasing.
"We'll take that confidence going into this game, but we know obviously Longford are a different prospect to past opposition. They are a well-drilled side and they have plenty of matchwinners."
Beau Hills, who claimed a three-wicket haul over Longford in his last game, comes in for an unlucky Nick Price.
"It's a tough selection, but it's the way we've gone," Reynolds said.
