Reds Back On Track

The wonderful thing about Vegards, is Vegards the wonderful thing.

Melchester's top scorer and part time Tiggerogram Vegard Nordheim

After a disappointing start to their season, Melchester welcomed back last season's top scorer and celebrity Norwegian Vergard Nordheim for the tie against erstwhile whipping boys Tripoli Cafe "B". And, as hoped, Rovers went into an early lead when Nordheim announced his return with a goal after 15 minutes.

The second half saw Ali score early on with his customary aplomb, before Wee Big Man Robin Smith doubled the score, grabbing a brace toward the end which could have important implications for goal difference later in the season.

Short of new signings, Rovers even experimented with ghosts in the midfield, but with no actual physical body with which to control the ball, this was only marginally more effective than the usual line-up.

With the wind in their sails, Rovers moved on to new opponents Domino, who were dominated by a free scoring Melchester who for once scored practically from kick off courtesy of Pagliaro, with that man Nordheim again hitting the scoresheet in style with another 4 (FOUR) goals, and Ali bringing up the rear to score in extra time to give Rovers a 6-0 win.

And so onto tomorrow, when another familiar opponent, Tottenham lookalikes Last Minute FC try to beat Rovers for the first time in their history. Always a close match, there's everything to play for with positions on the table still mighty, mighty close.
