As has been ususal at the start of the season, our first match was in the Divisional Cup. We were at home to a side we know well having played them in a couple of friendlies and twice in the league last season. Based on this, we knew it was going to be a close game and we should be prepared for extra time and even penalties. As expected, there was…

Rememebering the last time we met and some of the silly goals we had given away since Christmas, we sat down and looked at how we could re-organise to go into this game. Playing a slightly different formation which should be better defensively worked. Spartans took the lead in the 2nd quarter through Besty who kept troubling the Cramlington defence. Things were looking good as the game progressed and good…
After a couple of weeks off (again) with the weather, we went up to Cramlington on a nice sunny morning. Arriving their we found the pitch was right next to the main east coast railway line – any closer and we could have hitched a ride to London! After taking cover when the first few trains passed close by we got used to the noise and got on with playing…
After last week’s fighting performance full of effort and commitment, I sat down after this game trying to work out how we hadn’t performed. After long and hard contemplation, I have now decided that I believe in the existence of extra-terrestial life. Not just any ETs though, but shape shifting ETs. What has this got to do with football I hear you ask, but I think the aliens read my…
For the second match in a row, the U10s were still asleep at kick off, despite it being 11:30. Yet again we were a goal down within the minutes as Ashington ran through the defence and scored. To make matters worse, by the end of the quarter they had scored another two!! Two substitutions and some re-organisation was made to try and stop the flow of goals, but when Ashington scored…
After six weeks without a game due to the weather, this may have come down to which team had remembered the most about how to play football. After ten seconds, we were picking the ball out of the back of the net after we gave the ball away at kick off and our defence didn’t react in time to the Delaval attack. Spartans soon reorganised themselves, but another defensive error that…
