SPARTAN AWARDS - 2012

THE WINNERS AND NOMINEES FOR THE 2012 SEASON



Trevor is Eager for a Trophy!

 Things hit a fevered pitch tonight as the Spartans handed out their awards.

For some it was as disappointing as the season they "played". Others saw this as a last minute redemption towards securing a spot for next year.

Let's see some of the highlights:

FLOP OF THE YEAR
Nominees: Adam
Winner: Adam
Despite paying a season's fare, the youngster showed for three games.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Nominees: Mark, Dismo, Justin, Phil
Winner: Mark
Despite his losing record between the pipes, Mark kept the Spartans in games where they couldn't produce.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
Nominees: Matt, Dismo, Phil, Dan
Winner: Dismo
Dismo showed that he was in complete ownership of the Golden Orange, and his style of play was well regarded by both team mates and opponents.

MEDIOCRE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Nominees: Paul, Sam, Trevor
Winner: Sam
Although he didn't improve his style this year, Sam never lost the skill that he had.

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER
Nominees: Carmen, Kyle, Baron
Winner: Carmen
Not enjoying the first half of the season, Carmen stepped up his yearning to be a potent force, and finished within the top three players.

GOLDEN ORANGE '12
Winner: Dismo
The Rookie Sen-Sation accumulated the most points to walk away with the trophy in a laughable manner.

SEXIEST PLAYER
Nominees: Kevin, Phil, Ian, Justin
Winner: Phil
The Rookie was highly visible in all the games he played, racing around the field like a maniac with a running shuffle that would put Usain Bolt to shame.

WORST PLAY:
Nominees: Ian, Paul, Justin, Mark
Winner: Paul
Although a great keeper, Paul was unable to move when confronted with a penalty kick

BEST TEAM PLAYER
Nominees: Matt, Baron, Justin, Dave
Winner: Justin
Although the former super star was unable to generate many goals, he was always there to help where needed as the play required.
Special Mention: Matt
It goes without saying that the Rookie came into his own the second half of the season and really showed his stripes out on the pitch.

SEXIEST GOAL:
Nominees: Carmen, Dismo, Anders, Matt
Winner: Carmen
In a shot that Abe timed and levelled perfectly off the Corner Kick, Carmen found the Header and sent the ball into the twine.

Runner up:
Winner: Matt
Having placed himself on the isolated part of the field, Matt received the ball and planted it firmly behind the keeper and into the net.

BEST COME BACK
Winner: Baron
Having torn his left calf muscle in the first half of the first game, Baron demonstrated his determination to get back on the field, and was a force in the last two games of the playoffs.
