Rovers back to their best

A return to winning ways, as Josh got of the mark for his new team, and Alfie, bagged one in each half, in an efficient display, to beat Stafford Utd 3-1.
It was clear from the start that Rovers meant business, as they got the ball down and stroked it around.
With Shaun and Tyrell missing George partnered Jack B at the back at the two of them looked completely assured, George couldn't resist the odd foray forward, while Jack was more steady, snuffing out most threats posed by the red front line. Jack D played up and down the right flank and put in a shift which saw him combining well with Jack F, who terrier like never gave up on a ball and after a good piece of interplay between these two Jack F played the ball sweetly through the narrowest of gaps for the onrushing Josh to slot home and claim his first for Rovers. He was delighted and so were his team-mates who mobbed him in their celebration, leaving him in no-doubt that he is a welcome new addition to the team.
Alfie made it two before half time and Riley almost made it three as the midfield general saw an audacious lob from outside the box go just wide.

In the second half Stafford Utd pulled one back through Cameron, but any thoughts of a come-back were short lived as Dorrell took control of the ball on the right playing Alfie in for his second and Rovers' third. His strike from the edge of the box was enough to kill off the game as a contest and while Jacks B and F were both unlucky not to extend the lead first from a corner and then from open play it remained 3-1 until the end. Josh and Jack F shared the Man of the Match award although there were other contenders, and the Rovers went home happy with 3 points gained, and proud of a professional performance. The season isn't over yet and Warren Town still have some tough games to play.

Dropped Points in a double header

Unfortunately Rovers dropped 5 points in a double header against Carew, losing the first game 2-0 and drawing the second 0-0. This reporter wasn't present but Tom was awarded Man of the Match by Brad for his heroics in goal.

Rovers disappointed not to pick up a point.

Rovers just missed out in an enthralling match against rivals Warren Town.
The first half was an even contest with Rovers unfortunate to come in a goal down, Town's new player Dwayne scoring with an excellent solo effort.
A number of Rovers players had stamped their authority on the first half with Jack B, George and Shaun doing an awesome job in the back line. Jack B especially frustrated the Green front line with a totally assured performance.
In midfield Riley ran down every loose ball and challenged for everything but just couldn't find a way a way past the Greens' keeper.
In the second half Jack D got Rovers' goal from the spot with a super-cool penalty after Jack F was bundled over in the box after an especially determined run from full back. He showed a great deal of strength to beat three defenders before being brought down well inside the box.
The game didn't stay even for long as Warren Town bagged a second.
Alfie was a willing runner all game but the ball never seemed to find him in good positions, Dorrell bravely stayed on the pitch despite nursing a injury and as the second half went on George pushed forward and imposed himself in midfield as the Oranges pushed for an equaliser. At the final whistle Rovers were rightly disappointed not to get the point,  having given their all.
 Carew Rovers defeat of Stafford United made the table look very interesting again!
