Prologue Hello sports fans! It’s been a long old summer, and boy have we got some updates. It’s been a summer of change. Old players have gone, new players have arrived. Some fresh off the boat, no idea what’s HK life is about. So fresh. So innocent. We waved goodbye over the summer to Spartans…
Spartans cemented their place as the in-form team to beat by winning at the Football Club for the first time in 18 months to progress to the next round of the cup. The team lined up with Romain behind a defensive quartet of Grayland, in an unfamiliar left-back berth, Ted at right-back, and Lars alongside…
Welcome sports fans to the final Spartans match report of 2017. Spartans signed off their calendar year with a comfortable result against struggling French Kiss. There was something in the air on this Winter afternoon. Xmas Spirit? A chill? Ed Tizard’s first touch? Either way, it was a lovely day for a kickaround, but not…
Spartans earned a well deserved win against a poor Swiss side, in a match almost ruined by the officials. Sparts had a strong squad for the floodlit game, and lined up in a dangerous looking 4-4-2. Romain had the gloves, with Tom Glen, Lars, Grayland and Casper in front. OM and Lozza started out wide,…
Edwin Tizard was in the limelight as he enjoyed a night of mixed performances. On the pitch he had a number of shots and bagged a hat trick, and off the pitch, he had a number of shots, and bagged a hat trick. A 9pm start meant Casper had plenty of time to make kick…
Spartans vs French Kiss Sunday 11th September 2017 Venue: Kings Park Pitch 1 Conditions: Hot as hell Spartans have recruited well over the 2017 pre-season and with a new look assistant management team helping out the disabled Nick Day there was an air of optimism amongst the Spartans faithful heading into the new season. The…
Spartans v Club Colts Sunday 23rd April 2017 Conditions: Typical Another day at HKFC – as always, starting with such promise, and safe in the knowledge that no matter what happens, there will always be a dreamy team shower afterwards with free soap, shampoo and conditioner. It’s a little known fact that unconditioned hair draws…
Spartans v Swiss XI Sunday 12th March 2017 Conditions: Frustrating NO SPARTAN BLISS WITH MISS v SWISS Spartans showed signs of life for the first time in a few weeks, with a good performance punctured by a lack of cutting edge in their draw with Swiss XI on Sunday afternoon. Regular custodian Romain started between…
Spartan’s showed their mettle and started 2017 unbeaten with a determined performance against a Colloids side who lacked quality. Spartans lined up with familiar custodian, Romain, with a back 3 of Manc-spitter Lozza, Eneko and Tom Glen – who was very uncharacteristically late. Mr Consistency’s New Year’s resolution; clearly to let his standards slip. Flanking…
Sunday saw us back to the footy club to play the young, pacey Colts, Friday evening we had a squad of around 234, Sunday afternoon it had whittled down to the bare 11, that obviously included a 1/4 injured Tarik, Professor Mehmet, who apparently speaks 28 different languages including ‘Pingu’ & the best right back…
