Stunning Start

Zephyr Rovers opened their Division 1 campaign with a thrashing of Don Logan FC at the Shed of Dreams this afternoon. "I think it is stunning that with so many players out we can still field a strong team and beat a team that has previously given us a lesson or two" said Hall "we took them to the cleaners in the first spell and it was amazing to be 7 - 0 up at half time, even though Pete Roberts (pictured) had a gammy leg". Hall said Dan Lee slotted in very well at left back and scored a few long range goals in the first half. "We had threat all over the park from Matt and Pete up front to John and Dan at the back" said Hall "but we also looked very steady at the back and they didn't get much of a look in". Hall said Rovers kept the heat on for the first part of the second half and were at one point and got out to 10 - 0. "We then brought Glen on for a run and with the chnages in position we lost a bit of tempo" said Hall "but we were going well until the last two minutes when we let them have three unanswered goals". Hall said it didn't matter due to the lead but Rovers would have to go to the end if they were to beat the top teams. "One win doesn't amke a season" said Hall "and if the boys don't pay up we're not going to get the ten competition points either which will make it tough".
