SPARTANS BLACK WIN ANOTHER

YELLOW BACKS FALL SHORT IN TOUGH GAME

Always a great game against the Spartan Teams

The on pitch action was fast and furious, as the two Spartan teams did battle as only good friends could.

"I'm always pleased to pit brother vs brother," said Baron in a post game scrum," and this is no exception."

Once again, the Blacks worked to potential, utilizing superior team work to shut Yellow down and limit their options.

"Black was really good on their level," stated Yellow Captain Anders."They controlled the pitch, lulled us in and then counter attacked."

"Yellow played very well, and we were lucky to walk away with the 4-2 result," admitted Captain Scott of the Blacks.

The difference between the two were the actions taken on field. 

Black continued to work as a team, cutting Yellow's chances at passing and moving the ball around.

Good communication was key, and Yellow was often sent scrambling on the defense after a squandered attempt at net.

There was also a difference in Keepers, with Trevor maintaining a shut out until the very last few minutes.

"Overall it's a great time to try new tactics, and strengthen those habits we've found that work." Baron offered both teams.

SPARTANS TAKE A STEP BACK

THERE'S TONNES OF OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT

Yellow Never Strays from a Challenge!

IT was a bad day for our local heroes as they both suffered severe drubbings at the hands of traditional league foes.

For Black, it was an end of some great playing.

While they were able to stymie their opponents for select times last week, a lack of subs really affected their ability to storm back.

In addition, their often lackluster challenge attempts led to some long range goals that should never have been allowed.

"There's a lot of room for improvement," Baron stated in a post game scrum," and we need to focus on getting a few more wins in that column."

On the other side of town, Yellow faced their toughest game yet, as they faced their first place rivals without stars John or Nelson, both out with injuries.

It was a bit of a Turkey shoot, with injury riddled Bryan taking the spot between the posts and being left to his own devices.

A lack of communication and adherence to the formation did little to aid in the Yellow cause, although a spirited come back attempt by Stephen certainly added some excitement.

"Yellow has a lot of ability," Baron was heard saying in the locker room,"but refuses to follow simple soccer attack rules."

This coming Sunday features a battle of Spartan vs Spartan.

Tickets go on sale Friday, and the half time show will feature Kids Rocke.
