- 32' Oliver McBurnie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 42' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
