- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Gillingham FC and Swindon Town FC has kicked off!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dion Donohue suffering a number of foals already.

- 12' Scott Robertson was booked on 12.
