There May Be Trouble Ahead...

Rovers faced up to league leader Karlsberg FC more in hope than expectation of 3 valuable points, and alas it was not to be. After three glaring misses in the opening overs, Rovers conceded first, yet managed to peg their opponents back throughout the first half, going in 2-2 at half time.

However, in the 2nd period Karlsberg showed just why they are Division 3's runaway leaders, breaking down the Melchester defence twice more to canter to a 4-2 victory.

Next up was Rovers rescheduled game against Palermo, which will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. The game should have been played at the start of the season, but was postponed, which meant that any players who were suspended or hadn't yet signed were ineligible to play.

Unfortunately, nobody told Melchester about this rule - which meant Rovers mistakenly fielded an illegal player, which in turn brought the full wrath of the BSMK disciplinary committee - despite the match was being refereed by the league's own president, who was blissfully unaware of the situation. Resultant bans and fines are, as you read this, threatening to derail the remainder of Rover's season, as it looks likely that Roy Race won't even have a full team of players for tomorrow evening's tie against 3rd placed The Reds.

Thanks to the unique way the league is "run", Racey's men don't even care where they end up any more...
