Rovers Routed

Land Rovers were today taken to the cleaners by Infinity in an end of round match at the Shed of Horror Stories. "We kept pace with them for much of the first half and at half time it was 4 -3" said Rovers manager Hall "but we fell away in the second half and didn't pose a consistent threat to them as the game wore on". Chris Riddle pulled up lame for the second time against Infinity and the game started to slip away after Infinity got some soft goals to pull several goals ahead.

"It was all fizzling away to a quiet loss when Eddie was judged to have fouled an opposition player" said Hall "then we found out about some obscure rule we'd previously not heard about that five free kicks equals a penalty". Charles Smith forcibly expressed his view to the referee that it wasn't a free kick and the argument continued after the match. "I was a bit worried Charlie was going to get a ban from the competition so we used a couple of claw hammers to get him off the referees face" said Hall ".

Hall may have to consider a new approach for the rematch against Infinity in the semi-final "Looks like fouling our way to success is now ruled out by this new rule, so we might even have to resort to playing football next time". Hall ruled out bringing in a ring-in to blow Infinity off the planet "We're going to stick with the team that got us here" said Hall "but if a flu epidemic hits the squad the day before the semi-final then I know some lads who might be useful to our championship aspirations".

Final Score: Land Rovers 4 Infinity 8
