- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Tranmere Rovers FC and Southport FC.
- 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 Reagan Ogle suffering a number of foals already.
