He stated that Julian Eyestone has great potential as a goalkeeper and has been impressive throughout the season. Eyestone's energy, character, and dedication to improving his skills have made him a valuable asset to the team.
MacFarlane also praised Benjamin Arthur, saying that his promotion to the first team is fully deserved. Arthur's consistent performances and hard work throughout the season have earned him the respect of his teammates and coaches. He will now have the opportunity to continue developing his skills with the first team.
