Rookie Sensation Joins Spartans!

Rookie scores late goal against all odds!

It was much the same for our local heroes last night on the pitch.
"I'm not offering any excuses," said a disgruntled but optimistic Captain Ian," but our team let us down out there."
Although the Spartans looked impressive, making many close shots on goal, nothing registered until a late first half goal by the visiting Village Inn Hearts.
"I can't believe my record was broken today," a dishevelled Tyler commented, after failing to hit the goal posts this game. He was consoled by his mother off camera, after emotionally breaking down during his post game interview.
Although the out of towners would pocket two more goals in the second half, the Spartans looked close to tying if not pulling ahead. The talented likes of Dave and Fernando, as well as upstarts Carmen and Sam seemed to be well up on their techniques, although short of hitting net.
Fans of Fil, favoured in a recent pole for the Golden Orange, were ecstatic when their hero continued to shoot balls fifty feet over the net.
"If he actually gets on target, no goalie can stop a footy drive from Fil's Feet!"
But it was not the regular heroes that would shine on this day. Two new members joined Sparta FC after some intense negotiation.
"We were sitting outside the LCBO, and this guy [Captain Ian] comes up. We asked him to buy us some Colt 45 as we forgot our ID. He replied that he'd supply us alcohol as long as we played the rest of the season. Seems like a good trade." said Jordan, one of two new additions.
"I've known James and the other guy for a long time," Captain Ian told the FAD Commissionaire," and would like them on the team.
And it was James who would score the Spartans' only goal.
Unlike other games, there was no final flurry, and no real urgency at the end.
"Sometimes you win games, and sometimes you lose them," retorted a philisophical Captain Ian, " and this was not one of them."
