A depleted Zephyr Rovers today took on fellow leaders Mercer at the Shed of Dreams. "We got a mate of Ben's Kenny and my son to play for us and George was back for another run" said Hall "so we cobbled together a team although we looked a bit shaky at the start". Mercer got out to an early lead and were 4 - 1 up before Rovers started to knit it together. "We knuckled down and I thought we were getting the better of them midway through the second half when we got back to 4 - 3 down" said Hall "but unfortunately we then made two subs and lost the pattern, which handed the initiative back to Mercer". Hall said a bad throw out from the back saw it all fall apart. "I was trying to get them on a quick break but they intercepted and at 5 - 3 we didn't have the time to come back" said Hall "they got one more and it ended 6 - 3". Hall said that was probably Mercers strongest line up so their wasn't that much to fear if Rovers could put out a full line up. "We're not at full strength this week although Ben White (pictured) is starting to return to his old form which is good" said Hall "but we can improve and as long as we make the top four we can beat anyone".Rovers 3 Mercer 6
