HIGH FLYING TEAM WORKS WELL FOR THE WIN!

Fans Come Out and Aren't Disappointed |
"I feel good," said Coach Baron after the come from behind victory,"and so do the lads. It's a good time all around."
Things started quite poorly though, when the opposing side got their first goal.
"It was a weird bounce," commented Keeper Mark," and it just got past me and the guy walked it in."
Things started to improve, especially when Abe went into the 18 all alone. Tackled from behind, the penalty kick was not stopped, leading Dismo to his first goal in a while.
"I visualized a goal," replied 'Mo to reporters," and so it was."
Minutes later, a misjudge by the Spartan defence left Mark alone and a goal against him.
Things jumped back and forth during the first half, with the Spartans looking a bit off centre. With so many missing on the pitch, it looked like another disaster in the making.
With minutes left to play in the first half, Abe sent a beautiful corner kick against the far pole, and Carmen was there to send the header home.
"It's all precision timing and workmanship," stated Carmen,"almost like that BMW that I want to own. BMW is the choice of champions like me!"
At the Half, Coach Baron let loose with the customary Oranges and mid game analysis.
Spurred on by the words of their Mighty Coach, the Spartans looked like a team possessed.
Shot after shot went to the DFC net. Off the cross bar by Dismo. Just missed by Sam. Where was Dave to down a passing Air Liner?
Then the unspeakable!
Matt, having proved this day to be his and his alone, took a pass from Ian and made no mistake. It hit the twine and the celebrating Spartans were on top to stay.
"I felt a lot of confidence today," revealed Matt," and figured that I'd take the defensive hole to pocket my goal."
"I have a lot of respect for Matt today," laughed a joyous Baron,"he showed a lot of heart and probably played his best game today."
With the Spartans smelling blood, they attempted time and time again to get another goal.
It would be Paul, with this second of the season, to send the game out of reach.
"For a while I was trying stuff. But I decided to use my height and here we go!"
Fans were overjoyed by the win, and the excitement spilled into Downtown Oshawa. Numerous arrests were made, including members of the FAW for public urination.
"Overall it proved that we were capable of winning," Coach Baron professed," and that we can work as a team. Next week's game will be more difficult, but the lads can pull it off."
