Hall Eats Humble Pie

Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall this afternoon ordered a container load of Humble Pie as Land Rovers were upset 8-7 in a Division 7 fixture at the Shed of Dreams. The game got off to an inauspicious start when Hall fell over the ball and landed on his side, causing momentary paralysis as the rest of the team laughed uncontrollably. Hall then set about dismantling the ATFC defence and Rovers were soon up 3 – 1 after conceding an early goal. ATFC then pulled back two before Rovers hit form and scored the next four goals to be leading 7 – 4 with three minutes left on the clock. “We looked home and hosed so I pulled myself back to help defend as we were looking a bit ragged” said Hall “ but unfortunately after that we didn’t score again and they knocked in four, which says a lot about the quality of my defending.”. Hall said with hindsight he should have stayed up front as he would likely have scored another couple on the break and secured the win. “We all have to learn hard lessons in life” said Hall “and it just shows you have to play it out right to the end to get the points”.

Final Score: Land Rovers 7 ATFC 8
