Desmond Minors is leaving Robin Hood to have one last fling in the First Division -- and newly-promoted Devonshire Cougars are anxious to land his services.

The 35-year-old Minors confirmed he has had a falling out with the Commercial Division team and that he is interested in returning to the First Division with Second Division champions Devonshire Cougars.

"I had a fall out with Robin Hood and boycotted the last seven games, including the knockout final,'' Minors explained.

"I've had talks with `Bulla' (Cougars coach Brian Anderson) so I might be going to Cougars for my last hurrah. If not Cougars then Spinning Wheel.'' Despite missing the final games of the season, Minors still managed to lead the scoring in the Commercial Division `A' with 26 goals. That gives him a fourth consecutive scoring title and makes him the all-time leading scorer in the division with 98 goals in four years.

The 100-goal milestone will have to be put on hold if Minors decides to return to the First Division. He says he will eventually return to the Commercial Division, but for now is anxious to prove he can also score goals at the highest level.

"I think I still have the touch to score goals, I'll just have to get fit,'' Minors said of playing in the First Division.

"I've been itching for this for a while, I want a challenge.

"In the past four Commercial seasons I've not been fit, just been in the right spot at the right time. I'm not running up and down the field helping both the defence and forward line.'' Minors revealed the day after putting four goals past Second Division side Hamilton Parish in the FA Cup elimination round earlier in the season in a match that Robin Hood won 5-1, that he almost joined Parish for the 1993-94 season. In the end coach Johnny Nusum never got back to him so Minors stayed put.

He insists he will only join Cougars if he feels comfortable about the move.

The other choice is former Commercial Division team Spinning Wheel.

"If `Bulla' comes back to talk to me and if the players want me I'll go,'' he said. "If not I'm not going. I don't want any animosity.'' Minors admits getting into shape will be necessary if he decides to make the move, and has been assured by his boss -- he works as an assistant maitre'd -- that he will be given time off to train.

The giant striker has been scoring consistently in the Commercial Division since 1988-89 when he tallied 26 goals for Forties which also earned him the MVP award.

The following year he played for Warwick in the Second Division and netted 15 goals to win the Dr. V. O'Donnell King Memorial trophy as the top scorer.

Minors returned to the Commercial Division in 1991-92, this time for Spinning Wheel Raiders, where he scored 22 goals to top the division.

In 1992-93 Minors scored 24 times to finish as Robin Hood's MVP as they also won the Knockout Cup final.

"Even though it's great scoring goals it's not the ultimate challenge as in the First Division,'' said Minors. "I would go back to the Commercial Division and keep on racking up the goals and have a great time doing it.''
