Sleep Deprived Cao KO's New Boots

Zephyr Rovers found themsleves in a tough first half battle this morning at the Shed of Dreams and had battled to a 2 - 2 deadlock when the referee called one minute to go until half time. "This is where we saw the benefits of sleep deprivation as John Cao (pictured) scored two great goals in the last minute to put us ahead at the break by 4 - 2" said Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall "I'm thinking of keeping the whole team up next week if you can play like that without a decent kip". Hall said the second half went on for some time at 4 -2 before the New Boots team got one back after Matty Cantwell stayed up on the edge of the opposition area. "I was busy cursing Matty for his lack of tracking back when I noticed the opposition hadn't tracked back to cover him" said Hall "so after a quick delivery Matty did some sort of back heal flick thing and scored a marvelous goal to redeem himself". Hall said that seemed to break the opposition spirit and Rovers scored three more unanswered goals to romp home. "I don't know why Matty can't toe poke them in like George" said Hall "he has a touch of the extravagant about him at times".

Final: Rovers 8 New Boots 3
