SPARTANS TIE GAME

IS THIS THE END OF THE BEGINNING?

Spartan Fans are Fil'd with Joy

In a game that would never be remembered, the League's two worst teams went to battle for the distinction of worst team.
"I was full of hope," said Ian,"that this would settle things once and for all. It didn't"

In a lobsided encounter, the Spartans were all over their opponents. But it was Bowmanville FC that scored first.
"I never expected a crappy shot like that to go in," related Trevor, who took goal for Mark,"so I guess he looked pretty good. Glad I could be of help."

Fil, never one to mince words or miss a chance, scored to tie the game up.
"Mike, Fernando, Baron. They can have all the little goals that don't mean much. They can score for Germany, Portugal, Australia, or any other European team," he laughed,"but when it comes down to eat, I'll be the one with the Orange."

With the formation holding, and the Spartans having numerous chances, including another flub by super star Justin, the Spartans went into the half time with a confidence never before felt.

"It was almost as good a feeling as when Baron scored that goal in the '10 playoffs," remembered Pat, who stuffed down prime Saragossan Oranges.

But the second half looked more or less the same as the old Spartans. A bad play between the defence and goalkeeper left Spartan fans aghast as the bad guys went up by one.
"As I told you before, Baron, this was not a bad play by the defence, it was a simple bad judgement call." countered Ian in a post game beer fest.

With the minutes winding down, all eyes went to Chris, who had a bullet knocked out of play.
"I'll never have another kick like that again," wept Chris, who had eyes on atleast making the listing for the Golden Orange once in his career.

But it would be Fil's side kick Mike who would net the tie goal, on a semi pretty play that completely fooled the enemy goalkeeper.
"It was a great goal," commented Mike," don't listen to the commentary Baron is making up"

As the season nears the half way point, fans and players alike wonder if this marks the end of the losing season.

"We shall see," reflected Captain Ian,"If the lads continue to learn from their past mistakes, we should make a fine team for the second half of the season."
