17 Dec 2014
27' - Free kick to Swallows on the left hand side of the big box, promising position for the them. Floated in towards Isaacs, he rises unchallenged but cannot keep his header down and it sails over the bar. He should have done better there!

17 Dec 2014
20' - Pirates break up a Swallows attack and launch a swift counter attack, good interplay between Majoro and Erasmus, with Erasmus holding the ball up. He looks for a pass to Majoro but he had ventured offside again.
