Hall applauds champions Neots
They were just too good, admits Ives joint-boss
ST IVES TOWN joint boss Jez Hall paid tribute to “worthy winners” St Neots who beat his side 4-1 in front of a bumper 800-plus crowd at the Hunts Post Community Stadium on Monday to be crowned UCL champions.
“They are worthy champions and the league table doesn’t lie - fair play to them,” said Hall.
“It’s very difficult to keep their dangerous forward players quiet for 90 minutes.
“Other teams have weaknesses - where as they don‘t - and have got a squad they can utilise with one quality player coming in for another at any given time, that’s the difference.”

He said: “The game will be played on a smaller pitch and it’s a different situation as it won’t be in front of their home supporters.
