Events

  • 20' South Africa international Njabulo Blom has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 25' 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 Jake Nerwinski suffering a number of foals already.

  • 76' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
