Burn Out

Zephyr Rovers Manager Steve Hall said several players including Nigel Burn (pictured) were unavailable for the opening fixture of the Division 1 season against Don Logan FC at the Shed of Dreams. "We've lost Nigel, Eddie, Jamie, George and possibly Ben" said Rovers Manager Steve Hall "those guys would make a pretty strong team all by themselves so we're going to see how good our squad depth is right from the first match". Hall said with Pete Roberts also having a dodgy knee, Rovers would be down to the bare five. "I might have to get Glen back in as cover as he did pretty well last week" said Hall " and we can always use Pete in goal if it gets really desperate". Hall said he hadn't forgotten that Don Logan FC beat Rovers 9 - 4 last season before Rovers beat them in the final by 9 - 6. "We've had two very good tussles against them and I guess you could say they're winning on aggregate" said Hall "but also we won the one that mattered so they're the ones who have something to prove".
