Argey Bargey

In a controversial match this afternoon at the Shed of Light - Captain courageous and Rovers Manager Steve Hall was sensationally sent to the sin bin in the third minute after he complained to the referee about a Solnet defender pushing him in the chest off the ball. "Two big ugly Solnet guys came and pushed me around so I gave the referee some frank advice about what he should do with them" said Hall "next thing you know me and one of the Gorillas are in the sin bin. It was like Ice Hockey without sticks".

Hall recovered his composure after a discussion on the rules with the Solnet defender in the sin bin, and came back on to score four in a 7 -1 rout. "We eased up on them in the second half after going five - nil up by half time, so that Charlie could have some practice in goal for the semi-finals". Smith was in acrobatic form in goal and his full length dives were a spectacle to behold. "I was in magnificent form today" chortled Smith "almost unbeatable until they fluked one in the last minute. Even then it was an own goal off Lance".

New signing Patrick "Viv Anderson" Grant debuted for the Rovers after star players Chris Riddle and Colin McIntosh were unavailable for the match. "Patrick was a fine addition to the defence and we'll take a look at the lad for the semi-finals if he's available" said Hall "I liked the look of him as soon as I found out he supported Port Vale". Rovers have gone through the first round with only one defeat and now face Intergen again in the next round. "It'll be an interesting test of how far we've come since the first round" said Hall " and we're secure in the top four now and get to play the team that beat us Infinity again in the last round ".

Final Score: Rovers 7 Solnet 1
