Well if you feel like you have read this match report before it's because this was pretty much an exact replica of the previous meeting between these two clubs back in October. That day the Hoppers trounced the Rovers 6-0 and that scoreline and battering were evident again in this meeting.
Frankly the hoppers are just to good for the current crop of Rovers players and they are the best side in the league. Perhaps will a complete full team (Seamus, Jose, Brodie, Matty, Big Joe) the result might have been closer but the result would have still be the same.
For 20 minutes the Rovers battled bravely but it seemed the Hoppers goal was inevitable. The Rovers did have a couple of half chances both falling to the skipper but on one occassion he didn't get enough power behind the shot. Then Mark floated in a free kick that he did well to head on. Once the Hoppers scored though the Rovers didnt' look like they would be able to get back in the contest.
On a positive note the game was played in a very good spirit, by both sets of players and supporters. The ref did a decent job as well.
The Hoppers could have had more then 2 before the break as they hit the post 3 times as well.
The Rovers kept fighting up until about minute 80 when some heads seemed to drop but overall they battled well.
MOM; Jed would have been 10 with out him.
Best Moment of the Match. JOnathan's fair but last ditch crunching tackle to save a goal in the first half
Ref: good job
Groin: killing me
