Outclassed

Don Logan FC provided Rovers a lesson in football this afternoon at the Shed of Dreams as they overpowered Rovers 9 - 4 after leading narrowly at half time. "We were a bit disjointed going in to the game with John and George out, Matty not expected to turn up and Pete injured" said Hall "but it was no excuse as we just didn't fire against a team that did". Hall said Rovers played at a level that probably would have got them home against the lower ranked teams but didn't lift the cog or two needed to play the top teams. "Don Logan FC converted half chances and moved well off the ball" said Hall "but we never adjusted and I'm convinced next time we play them we can lift our game knowing what is in store". Nonetheless Rovers had their chances and several fell to a Rob Purcell who wasn't 100% after his return from the northern hemisphere. "I won't say Rob should have scored ten, but maybe six was realistic" said Hall "and Matty seemed to defending more than attacking which probably isn't the best way to get the most out of his abilities".

Hall said he thought the top Division Two teams were as good as Division 1 teams so it wasn't a walk in the park to win the division.

Final: Rovers 4 Don Logan 9
