SPARTANS END OUTDOOR SEASON WELL

TEAM FINALLY WORKS AS A CONCERTED EFFORT AND PERFORMS WELL!

Fans were pleased with the effort!

To My Outdoor Spartans:

What a season!

First off, I wanted to say thank you for the support over the season. I met some new players and was enriched by the experience.

Being a REC league, there is always going to be a diversity of talents on the team. Some are more skillful than others in certain aspects. Remember that for the future in all your endeavours.

It will serve you well to remember that the square page will not fit into the circle peg. As your Captain and Owner, I needed to be cognizant of this fact in every game. Some of you will appreciate this in the years to come.

We faced numerous obstacles on our path.

First and foremost was the cancelling of games. As the Convener explained to me, this was not the League's decision but the City's call.

Unfortunately this had the effect of killing any sort of gelling that we were making. It made us rusty and that hurt the game's progression for us.

Our next challenge was finding enough people on the pitch. Our average attendance was 13 men. That's from a roster of 23 individuals.

That also lengthened our time to gel as a team.

Our last game was very well played, and we held our own against a team that was destined to win it all.

I hope that all of you learned something and grew from the experience on field.
I can relate that this season allowed me to understand the game a bit better.
In whatever you do...always learn, and improve yourself. Otherwise, it's just meaningless!

I thank each of you for the time we spent on field.

For some of you, it's now time to settle into the indoor league.
For others, it's time to mend and rest, until the next time!
