Day Off

Zephyr Rovers had the day off today due to the Waitangi Day holiday but Zephyr Manager Steve Hall used the opportunity to test out his injured finger with a return to goalkeeper. "Shapeshifters had had a one win and four loss record going into this one so I figured they needed some help at the back" said Hall "but we also got a few young guys in and as a result we steamrolled the opposition by 15 - 3". Hall said he was pleased with his performance in gaol and was unbeaten during the match. "I didn't have that much to do to be honest so the finger didn't get tested too much" said Hall "and then I had a run outfield and scored with my first touch as I ran over half way straight from our own goal area"
Hall said the score showed him the merits of teenagers in the team with their speed and skill around the pitch. "We won't be getting any young guys in to Zephyr, but we might have to ask George Nash (pictured) to act more like a kid, that might be the best we can manager".
