Rovers Run Ragged

Land Rovers today started with the bare minimum of five players after two late withdrawals from the team meant no subs for the game against Infinity. Infinity scored first then Riddle equalized, Infinity scored again and Hall equalized, then Infinity scored four more and no one equalized.

Infinity powered all over the Rovers in the last quarter, and those expecting another long range goal from Smith were disappointed. Infinity had the legs in the end as the Rover flagged over the last eight minutes. Paul Lundberg on debut made some good tackles and Hussey was everywhere including in the referees face. The referee blew a massive twenty or so fouls against Rovers as he interpreted any contact including a sneeze as a foul. Rovers being a fairly physical team therefore got all the warnings and the sprightly opposition romped all over the park. It was a wake up call for the Rovers who immediately adjusted the vision of being the best team in Wellington by 2020, to a revised date of 2030.

“I thought there were positives to be taken out of that one and more time together should see more team cohesion” said team boss Hall. Smith immediately suggested a few pints would be a good way to spend more time together.
