Land Rovers Football Club are through to their first ever final today after coming from 6 - 1 down to beat hot favourites Infinity at the Shed of Dreams. After scoring first Rovers saw six unanswered goals fly into their net before regathering and taking the fight to the opposition. "Infinity were on fire in the those first seven minutes and it was something of a shock to find ourselves five goals down" said Rovers Manager Steve Hall "but this team has great belief and incredibly got back to 6 - 6 before Infinity scored again to be 7 - 6 up at half time".The second half was pretty much controlled by Rovers including some quite outstanding goals. "There were so many great goals it's hard to know where to start in describing them" said Hall "but at one point Ben White returned a goalkeepers kick with interest and almost broke the net".
At the defensive end Charlie Smith (pictured) looked a bit ragged in goal early on but was solid thereafter. "Charlie lost a bit of skin off his knees for this one but full credit to him for his second half performance after a horror start" said Hall. Smith was proudly showing his battle scarred knees to anyone who walked past after the game.
Rovers now play Matt Is Madd in the Grand Final at the Shed of Dreams next Wednesday at 11.30 am. Tickets are now on sale at Hall Tickets Limited.

My Charlie is a hero
great comeback in a semi-final - good luck in the final.
Well Done to zee Rovers.
Smith should harden up
Great win guys!! wish I could be there with to serve up the oranges at half time.
Tell Mr Smiff to stop looking for sympathy and pull his socks up! He nearly cost the game with his half arsed goalkeeping. The best thing for his knees is to rub some salt into them. It cleans up the wound and helps it scab over quicker. :P (Please note that this suggestion MAY cause a little discomfort)
Smith still has skin on his knees - what is he a big girl's blouse??
They just don't make em as tough as they used to - what a girl.
