It's Division 2

With the return to eight team leagues Zephyr Rovers have been relegated to Division 2 for the forthcoming season. "We put ourselves at risk by finishing ninth after a string of upset results saw teams we had beaten overtake us" said Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall "so there are now team in Division 1 we beat but those crazy results just after Christmas saw them get ahead of us". Hall said it was a good chance to regroup and build a settled team again. "We suffered a bit from too many changes" said Hall "but obviously that 21 - 1 win was a boost to morale and we'll draft in Pete Roberts for the retiring Chopper". Hall said Division 2 would still be tough. "I recognise teams in this league have beaten us previously so it will be no picnic" said Hall "but we'll look to strengthen the team with a couple of Brazilians". Hall said the first match of the new season will be on Wednesday at the Shed of Dreams.
