SPARTAN TEAM COMES TOGETHER

TEAM WORK BRINGS ITS OWN REWARDS

Nelson makes the save While Tom and Baron look on!


Spartans!

What a game it was.

We went in with the lowest of expectations.
After all, the top team won by a landslide.

Opening off was Ramon, who was back with his old team.
Not playing but a special guest on this day.
It was good to see him, and we hope to have him on the pitch next season!
A speedy recovery to you sir!

The fact of this game was that we were critiquing ourselves.
We knew that it would take a special circumstance to beat them.

Our passing was crisp.
We didn't give up the ball as often as we did in the past.

We had some good runs.

We had some excellent plays.

Most of all, we operated as a team.
Perhaps...
If it had been any other team, we would have won or tied.
And that's saying a lot.

Well done men!

Baron's Three Stars:
1. Nelson
2. Abe
3. Paul

REGULAR SEASON ENDS

SPARTANS ENJOY A REC MATCH IN THE SECOND HALF

Baron Makes a Penalty Kick Save
Our last game of the season was certainly an interesting one!

Only eight men showed up for the game.
That's a problem where we have a 17 man roster left.
From a total of 22 players at season beginning.

Luckily, we faced eleven opponents.

WE played the game, and realized once again that had we eleven men, this was another winner.
There was  lot of heart in this game, and so many chances.
Chalk it up to experience.

Now we enter the playoffs.
Every able bodies man needs to be there.
We need to take the lessons of the season and run with it.

Here's to the playoffs!

Baron's Three Stars:
1. Brad
