SPARTANS GO UNDEFEATED IN FIRST GAMES

TOP FINISHES AGAINST TOP TEAMS
Yellows add another WIN to the column
It was a good weekend for the good guys!

The Blacks, having come off a tie last week, resumed their stride with another tie against the top "B" team.

Action was swift, and both sides had numerous chances to send the game away. But some great team efforts kept our boys in it at all times.

"There's a certain amount of respect for opponents of that quality," Baron said in a post game scrum,"but this team skirted the boundaries with their physical play and diving."

Near the end of the game, the REF lost control of the game. Matt was pushed into the boards, and retorted with some fist-a-cuffs. Baron was also accosted on the field, resulting in him hip checking an opponent to the ground.

"Physicality will always be dealt with in kind," Spartan Terry was heard yelling.

Later that day, across town and to the left, the Yellow Backs were pitted against Spartan outdoor team mates.

The play was furious, and the result intense.

Down one at the half, the Yellow Spartans came back with a roar, downing the Lions 2-1.

"It's a pleasure to see my Yellows win a game against the second rated team in the "B" league," smiled Baron, who seemed to really enjoy himself off pitch. "and this is simply a taste of what's to come. Will we win every game? No. But will we be in every game? I'd say yes."

Some fast and furious action will hit the fields this Sunday. Fans are requested to come early and support their stars!

BUILDING ON MOMENTUM

BOTH SPARTAN TEAMS LOOK GREAT FOR 2015!

Andrew B goes for the shot!
Spartans!

First I'll address the Blacks, who tied their opponents last game.

You were the dominate team.
You deserved to win.

You didn't deserve what the REF had to say or do.
The official definitely won the game for them, playing the 8th man.

But we're going to have to get used to it!
For some reason this particular REF loves to screw with us.
Let's play extra hard next time this idiot with a whistle is on our field.

Yellow Backs!

You played the toughest team in the league.

You scored first, but the goal was called off.

Even then, you guys played with heart, and fended them off again and again.
In fact, with 15 minutes to go they were only up by one goal.
They were frustrated. They were stretched to the max.

We're ready to take the next step...and improve with each game.

TO BOTH...

The playoffs are in three months.
We're going to be ready!
