Can’t see Williams in pre game warm up - might have gone up north as well(?)

We have the advantage of a slight breeze I’d suggest.

Gardner gifts them an easy goal against play. I've not seen much of him I like.

Port get a second....

You can’t win the game in the first quarter with the wind, but you can lose it. Going to be very tough after this start.

Mids are getting smashed aside from Webb.
