STRONG SHOWING FROM OUR SPARTANS

OUR HEROES STYMIE THEIR STRONGER OPPONENTS WITH TEAM WORK

Nelson showing the power of Skill

It was a great game for our local heroes.

Not much was expected from the fans as the 2016 ENERGIE SPARTANS FC took to the field.
Another hodge podge of talented players that the Baron had collected for the summer contest.

But our men decided to make a game of it.
With a strong and stifling defence, the Spartans kept their opponents from any real chances.

Early in, a penalty kick was awarded, and Keeper Nelson simply swatted the offering away.

Some foreshadowing in the first half as the good guys displayed numerous chances on the opposing Keeper.

As it was, by half time, the score was 1-0 for the Spartans.

The second half began much as we had expected.
The enemy came at us forcefully and constantly.
But the formation held it off.

While many players seemed to get better as the game moved on, the formation deteriorated.
What had been a suffocating defence now became disjointed.

This gave the Visitors some great chances.
By the 66th minute, the pressure yielded an own goal, tying the game.

Minutes later, some sloppy playing created another Penalty Kick, which found the twine over the injured Nelson.

Although the game ended in a loss, our boys have shown that they can dance with the best of teams.
It promises to be a spectacular season.
