Spartacus continued their season with a game last Thursday against North York Cosmos, followed by a game on Monday versus Hillcrest.

The game against North York Cosmos was close only on the scoreboard, as Spartacus dominated in both possession and scoring opportunities. Misssed opportunites was the common theme of the day as Spartacus failed to capitalize on the many scoring chances they created, and credit must also be given to the Cosmos goalkeeper for pulling off many fine saves.

Spartacus did take an early lead but allowed Cosmos to tie the game soon after. From that point the majority of the game was played in the Cosmos half, yet Spartacus seemed destined to finish the game even on the scoreboard. However, with virtually the last kick of the game Spartacus earned a deserved win as a hard well placed shot which beat the outstretched Cosmos goalkeeper.

Against Hillcrest Spartacus scored early and often. From the opening whistle the pattern of the game was established, as Spartacus moved the ball around through short passes while Hillcrest seemed content to kick the ball long at any and every opportunity. Despite very little pressure the Spartacus defence stayed focused, as well as determined to not even allow a shot on goal by the opposition. By the end of the game Spartacus had earned a 6-0 victory

It is worth noting new additions to the team do not look out of sorts playing alongside established players as they become familiar with a team philosophy that demands playing as a team when in possesion of the ball, as well as an expectation every player must work hard to regain possession when possion is lost.

As a result Spartacus has a perfect record, conceding only one goal so far this season, often playing attractive football resulting in games where Spartacus has dominated time of possesion.
