Super Spartans: Played 26 Won 25 Drawn 1 Lost 0
Congratulations to Spartans Under 17s, who won the Lothian Buses Division 2 title – and went through their league season unbeaten.
The only blemish – if it can be called that – over the entire 26 games was a 2-2 draw with Cramond, a game coach Jim Bryson reckons Spartans should have won!
“To go undefeated over the entire league season is a remarkable achievement and something the squad should be very proud of”, he said. “Their attitude has been first class throughout the season and I think our final game exemplifies that. We were 4-1 down to Musselburgh Windsor with just ten minutes to go, but the heads didn;t go down – quite the opposite. We came back with four goals in the last ten minutes to win 5-4. It was a tremendous fightback, a perfect finale to the league and it summed up the spirit the team has shown this season.”
