OUT MANNED SPARTANS DESTROYED

LACK OF SUBS KILLS CHANCES FOR HOME TEAM

Carmen Works his Magic

"The only thing that beat us was our lack of substitutes," said Coach Baron in a post game interview.

Indeed, the Spartans looked fresh and excited...all nine of them as they started the game. The score was quickly 1-0 for the Visitors.

Luckily, albeit late, their team mates arrived, but not in sufficient numbers. Coach Baron and Ian were forced into play just so that their mates could catch some air.

The Spartans made some nice plays, and seemed to control the ball more with their own pace in mind.

But the large picture showed that the offensive couldn't deliver much needed shots on the twine.

By half time our heroes were down by two.

The Second half started well, but the tired Spartans could only muster a few half hearted attempts.

But with Ian on the offensive, a blooper was misjudged by the enemy defense and Carmen curved a beautiful shot past the diving keeper.

"I love those shots," explained Carmen," and I'll do it again. Just watch me."

But with their opponents changing regularly, the mid-fields and defense started to run out of gas.

"There's lots of things to consider," stated Coach Baron,"and one of those is that if we make call ups, some of the team won't be playing."
