INDOOR SEASON STARTS!

TEAMS VIE FOR THE IMMORTAL SPARTAN CUP

FAW SuperStar Sean returns to the Pitch!

VFB Spartans Dynamo:

You guys had the short straw this week, playing against the permanent champions Durham Lions.

I'm not sure why these guys are in our league, since all they do is pummel teams by a wide margin weekly.

Very few teams can stand against them.

For us, the problem of putting together a bunch of guys into a team is exemplified by playing this team.

But we fared well, and made a good account for ourselves.

Getting beaten by a foe such as this is no dishonour.

And it can hone our skills for future meetings.

Colin was excellent in net, in his first game in more than 20 years (LOL)

Remember too, that indoor is a fast game.

Be prepared for quick kicks and throw ins.

As well, the REF quality is sometimes off and on in this league.

We need to remember that going forward.

TSV Spartans Lokomotive:

The Hammers are not an easy team by any means, and we kept right on top of their attacks.

Ross made some incredible saves in his return game.

There were some great chances generated, including those from Curtis and Stephen.

The only goal that came against us was "one of those".

But they count, and despite our efforts, we couldn't equalize.

This week we'll be looking to gel with our team mates and scoring some goals.

As well as keeping them out of our net!

Energie Spartans FC:

The longest running of the Spartan teams took some time to get acquainted with themselves.

We let our opponents get a few easy rushes on us, and communication was a big issue.

There was a bit of rust on the team, and I'm not talking about the jersey colours.

Captain Terry was instrumental in reorganizing us, and getting the team on the right start second half.

Adam started the team off, by touching the twine with a great shot.

After that the team opened up and it was only a matter of time that the game would be won.

Unfortunately, time ran out before that point...but next game will be different.

Coverage of No. 14 was all so important in containing the opponents.

And that was a great team effort!
