SPARTANS SHINE IN LOSS

LOSE CLOSE AFFAIR TO SECOND PLACE TEAM
Anders Gets Some Revenge!
"It's a game with mixed emotions," stated Baron in his traditional post game interview at the Royale in Whitby."The lads played an amazing first half, lost some charm in the second half, but regained it again for the last 20 minutes. It's a game we were simply unluckly to lose."

Baron juggled his offensive staff about after the Shooters found a way past Mark with two goals in the first half.

"They were good goals," revealed the impressive Spartan Keeper.

The change, largely ineffective, saw the Spartans switch from a controlled passing affair to a dump and chase experiment. Gone were the close shots by F'n J, Scott and Baron.

The lone Spartan goal came after some shenanigans by the Shooters against Paul.

"The guy takes a clump outta my back," yelled Paul, who revealed claw marks on his back,"and these aren't my wife's. She's a lot tougher than that bloke."

As the Referee looked on, he allowed the shot to proceed and Anders popped in the rebound.

"At first I thought the Ref was going to call the blatant foul against Paul," said Anders," but he had no intention and let us play the advantage."

"We learned a lot from the game, and we'll be better equipped to win our last few games," prophesized Baron.

SPARTANS PLAY BADLY

GOALTENDER ONLY GEM IN CRAPPY LOSS
Mark finds his Skillz again
It was one of those games that could have easily been forgotten.

"The Spartans looked like they'd never played together in their lives," said one pundit from CBC.

Another poor showing has left the Spartans in the bottom half of the standings, and worse for wear. That is, except for Goalkeeper Mark, who seems to have found his old groove.

"I felt good out there." replied the Spartan goalkeeper.

Years ago, Mark arrived at half season to save the team from relegation. After last week, he found his groove and made the saves look easy, including a penalty shot.

The Spartans struggled often, and seemed to look like the '92 NY Rangers.

They only sported a few chances, including F'n J getting hauled down within the 18.
"Last man rules, Ref," shouted the angry superstar," C'mon!"

"It's ultimately my fault," indicated Baron," we have to make some changes, and ensure that this does not happen again. Every game from now on is a playoff game."
