Zephyr Rovers were crowned Division 2 Champions this morning at the Shed of Dreams after the skillfully dismantled the Don Logan FC team in a competitive final. "I knew we'd be up for the match because we didn't play them at full throttle last time when they beat us 9 -5" said Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall "but we've learnt to adjust our game to the opposition in the last few weeks and I knew we'd be at our best for this one". Rovers controlled the game from the start and good passing and tough defense made it very hard for the Don Logan team to get a look in. "I admit I wasn't too concerned about the earlier game we lost because if anything it would make them over confident" said Hall "and we were only up 3 - 2 at half time but it is always the second half in these games where the good teams gain traction".Hall said Rovers had grown over the season and were now looking like they could push on to the next level. We were shaky at the end of the last season but we've got a very solid team after this campaign and I think we're ready for another crack at Division 1 next season". Hall said he didn't want to single out any player as the whole team had put in a good performance. "That's our third divisional trophy and we also have a Division 1 plate trophy as well" indicated Hall "but I think that was the sweetest yet because we're one step away now from our goal of winning Division 1 by 30 June 2030". Hall said he'd expect to see Don Logan in Division 1 next season and thought Rovers could push on and challenge for a Division 1 top four place.

A convincing performance by the new Champions -if there was a cup to play in Rovers would win the double
Never in doubt - was only ever one side in it
