Rovers Take Talented Ones

Publicity shy Astronomically Talented were today edged out by Rovers at the Shed of Dreams, but by considerably less than they were thrashed in the first round. "We'd been watching their results and we knew they were improving and had had some very good results" said Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall "so we weren't taking it easily by any means". Rovers leapt out to an early three nil lead before the team went to sleep defensively to allow the Talented two quick goals. "We had much more possession and territory and quite a bit of individual flair" said Hall "but when we turned the ball over we looked a bit ragged in turning to defend and they pinged in more shots than I wanted to see". Hall said things could have been worse but Eddie Hussey (pictured) did a very good job of last second shot blocking. "We're going to get taken to pieces in the semi-final unless we show more commitment to getting back and marking" said Hall "I lost count of the number of saves I made or shots that went whizzing near the posts".

I think it had something to do with the free pot shots a goal they kept getting
