The red24 Spartans struggled to contain a energised Scorpions side in a Division 8 showdown at the Stadium of Light last night. The Spartans started the better of the two sides scoring two early goals to put pressure on the "desert biters"; however, a late first half own goal by Shifty added some respectability to the half time scoreline for the away team. The second half was a frantic affair with the Scorpions coming out determined to pick up their first win of the season in 8 attempts. The youngsters showed a lot of energy and determination but were let down by their more experienced campaigners who threw away possession at crucial times during the half. This gave the Spartans an opportunity to further their lead with goals by Yosh and Andre (and a determined effort by the Wall and Shifty at the back) sealing the closely fought 5-4 win. The Spartans next victory is on Tuesday against an Inter Yer Maw side currently languishing mid-table - a crucial game first both teams ahead of play-offs later in the week.
