Rovers Stutter

Last season Land Rovers put away Ten Left Feet by 11 - 7 in a fairly comfortable romp, but today Land Rovers were without several key players. "We've been blooding some new players in recent weeks and whilst that has been beneficial for longer term development, we've seen a slight dip in performance" said acting Manager Charlie Smith. Smith said Rovers were competitive for this game but defences lapses cost the team. "The good news is Lance Edwards finally got his shooting boots on and scored a couple of goals, as did Colin McIntosh" said Smith.

Manager Steve Hall said from his Manawatu hideaway. "God it's boring in Palmy, even the hoons have fallen asleep here today, I must get back to town as soon as possible". Hall said he was looking to put up a better effort against Aspire United "We'll put out a fairly strong line up next week and hope to get one back on those guys" said Hall "we need to rediscover the winning habit".

Final Score: Land Rovers 5 Ten Left Feet 8
