This is the first time these two clubs have met in a competitive fixture. For the last two years these teams have played friendlies, with the Rovers winning two years ago and Sunnyvale winning this season. The two teams enjoy a decent relationship, training together for a couple of summers in prepartion for six aside tournmanets.
All friendships will be put aside this Sunday at Palo Alto El Camino Sand Box at 9am. Both teams coming off disapointing results last week. The Rovers look to get back on track with Nigel Thomas returning to the squad after a weekend on the beer. Still missing from the team this week are new boys Big Joe and Nav, who would have to judged as disapointing signings, except for the fact that they have paid their club dues. New Jon also misses out due a scheudled trip. The Rovers are still missing their club captain due an injury.
Sunnyvale will be a tough nut to crack as they have a very solid midfield and some lively players up top. If the Rovers stay compact and do the simple things they have a good chance.
Overall it should be good match.
