ORANGES AT HALF TIME

ARE THEY ALL THEY'RE CRACKED UP TO BE?

The Baron's Oranges are GRRRRRRRREAT!

Win or Lose, the Spartans can always count on the Baron to provide them with yummy oranges at Half Time. In fact, this Custom is a main stay of Spartan football since 2009.

The Baron's oranges are grown in the southern part of Spain, where the land is hot yet the winds are cool. To cut costs, the owner sold his first born to some elves (pictured above) who in return provide low cost labour to maintain and pick only the finest of orange edibles.

And thus was born the favourite past time of the Spartan organization!

It also serves to keep the guys quiet while their coach, mentor, beloved Captain and caretaker rambles on about something that happened in that game they were playing. Where Tyler should have scored, or Mike should have passed to the side, or Scott shouldn't be playing with broken toes, or...well, you get the idea.

So ditch your favourite energy drink...or protein shake, or non-alcoholic beer at half time. You're in for a treat when the plastic container is open and you can dig those grubby hands in to a plethora of citrus goodness.

AHHHH! That's the ticket.

SCHWERPUNKT MAKES ITS DEBUT FOR SPARTANS

NEW IDEA OF ATTACK CREATES CONVINCING WIN!

What a way to play Football!

"Remember the Share Pint!" was the cry all over the field last Sunday as the Good Guys gave a good thrashing to the visiting opponents.

Earlier in the week, Coach Baron had brought his team together to demonstrate a new era in Football strategy.

"I felt that my team needed some guidance," explained Coach Baron,"Individually they're great. But they didn't know how to react. It was like numerous battle plans operating at once. Anarchy."

It didn't take long for even sceptics to take note.

Possession was pretty much all Spartans FC. Most of the game was played within the Darlington Crew half.

"The score could have been much higher," one fan laughed, having received a great pleasure in viewing the game.

Pundits noted that the Spartans hit the cross bar three times, and missed five open nets. But the results spoke for themselves.

Each time the SchwerPunkt was enacted, the Spartans delivered a furious attack that penetrated the enemy 18.

"That's SchwerPunkt for you," commented Baron, "and that's how we plan to play!"
