SEASON LOST

ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING YEAR BY OUR MEN!

Fans are Upset!

With the season ended, Coach Baron reflected upon the year's results.

"Obviously I'm disappointed with our loss at the playoffs. We owned that team all year, and I don't think injuries had anything to do with it. The simple fact was that we had too many players and not enough team mates."

Down 4 goals to 1, the Spartans started a strong first half. They kept possession 85% of the time, and were in the opponent's zone 80% of the initial 45 minutes.

"Can't buy a goal!" said F'n J at half time.

With so much on the line, things were jostled around to encourage more offensive power.

But the rivals scored first, on a goal that was just soft enough to confuse Mark.

From there, Darlington FC continued to dominate, and pocketed another just moments later.

The only ray of light came from Carmen, who was quick to pocket the offering deflection and into the net with a curved shot.
"If that kind of ball gets to me, I'll send it into the twine," laughed Carmen, who had his most successful season.

With darkness overtaking the pitch, the Referee called the game, albeit 10 minutes early.

"Overall, we started the season very well, and recorded some very nice wins, and close losses. But later in the season we forgot everything that we did right, and went back to last year's efforts." explained Coach Baron.

BRING ON THE REMATCH!

Spartans!

Game two is all about Sacrifice.

For 90 minutes (give or take a few minutes depending on the officiating) you'll be asked to give it your all.
You need to learn from you failures! Improve and grow as a man to the better!

I've attempted to lead by example. I played hard, adjusted my play from those times when I failed, and never gave up. I sacrificed my own playing time so that my players could play, and play well.

A good player is one that will use his abilities as he would use his arms, hands and feet in a daily routine. Without thinking, just doing without regard to what goes on around him.

A great player will hone his senses. His legs, eyes, feet and body become a tool with which to move the play. His heart will show and become contagious. He will encourage others to soar when they wish to lay. A great player will not be defined on how skillful he is...but how he performs under pressure in the chase to win!

This Sunday each of you have the opportunity to show what kind of person you truly have become.

You will Sacrifice yourselves, work for the team, and work for the win that you deserve.
