Slow burner
Glengarry’s scoring pattern shows a side that is at its most dangerous in the second period of matches. They have found the net 14 times between the 15th and 30th minute, before producing another strong return of 12 goals immediately after half-time. Elsewhere, their output is relatively even, with between six and eight goals. The figures suggest Glengarry are particularly effective at building momentum after the opening exchanges and again at the start of the second half.
Can't switch off
Defensively, Glengarry have faced their biggest challenge approaching half-time. They have conceded 11 goals between the 30th and 45th minute, making it by far their most vulnerable spell. The remainder of the match is more evenly distributed, with six to eight goals conceded in every other segment. While there are no prolonged periods of defensive weakness beyond the end of the first half, the data suggests tightening up before the interval could make a significant difference to their overall record.
Tough to assess
The scoring data suggests a side that gathers momentum as the match progresses. Their most productive period comes in the second segment, with nine goals scored between the 15th and 30th minute, while a further eight have arrived immediately after half-time. Elsewhere, the return is relatively even, with between three and five goals scored across the remaining segments. The figures point to a team that takes some time to find their footing in the first half but comes out firing in the second. Curious.
Midhalf mixup?
Defensively, the side has been at its strongest through the middle of matches, conceding just three goals in both the third and fourth segments. The greatest vulnerability comes between the 60th and 75th minute, where six goals have been conceded, while the opening, second and final segments have each seen between four and five goals shipped. Overall, the data suggests a defence that remains organised for long spells but can come under greater pressure during the final parts of the game.
Nick's Knack for goal
Nick Dalgety is Glengarry's top goalscorer this season with 24 goals in just 16 gtames, his total is almost half of the total for his entire side, Lewis will know it is essential they stop him this weekend.
Donnie Trumps All
Donnie MacRae is Lewis' top goalscorer going into the Chieftain's Cup Final, though John Slaughter (who would've been a lot easier to make a pun with!) trails just behind on 7 goals. Only Sutherland Cup holders Fort William have stopped Lewis from scoring so far this season.
Glengarry edge form
Glengarry have marginally better form going into this Saturday's final, what is interesting though is that we are currently in the weakest period of the season for both teams as we approach this encounter at Bught Park.
