Gone Down South For A While

Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall confirmed he had managed to get through Christchurch to be able to conduct his quick tour of the South Island. "Our flight got held up for several hours and we finally got to Christchurch not much before midnight" said Hall "obviously as a football manager I'm used to a certain amount of attention on the road but overall it was quite quiet". Hall said he wasn't staying in Christchurch so he had had to hop in a rental car and hit the road. "I screamed down the highway south a little after 12.30am and the only other thing on the road was a seemingly endless stream of milk tankers" said Hall "I had thought of bringing Rovers down here on tour but judging from this trip there is no one down here except about three farmers, tend of thousands of dairy cows and about a hundred million sheep". Hall said it was good to get away from it all for a few days. "It is quite therapeutic fatting around the South Island in a Ford Falcon XR6 (pictured) for the weekend" Hall confirmed "but I'll be back tomorrow for the Rovers opening grading game against Kiwibank in Shed 6".
