Sarisbury Spartans FC

⚽️ FULL TIME | Harefield United 2–1 Spartans Reseves

Well… that was certainly a game of two halves. 😴

The first half was mostly a snoozefest, with both sides looking like they’d rather still be in bed. We’ll blame it on not quite being up to speed, first-game nerves, pre-season rust… basically all the usual football clichés! 😂

The game finally sprang to life after the break, with Harefield grabbing two quick goals to put themselves in control.

Then came a bit of magic from C💫 💥🔥 — a stunning half-volley that flew in off the bar. An absolute worldie and one for the highlight reel!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to get us back into the game and we come away with a 2–1 defeat.

Plenty to work on, but we go again next week. 💪⚽️

All the best to Harefield for the season!

The Reserves are back in action this Sunday as they welcome Harefield United to Green Park! 👀⚽️

The league campaign might be getting all the attention, but the Reserves are here to remind everyone they’re not just making up the numbers. 😏

After a pre-season packed with goals, chaos and the occasional “interesting” refereeing decision, it’s time to see what the lads can do when the season starts.

Get down to Green Park, make some noise and give the boys the support they deserve!

⚔️ FULL TIME | A TALE OF TWO GAMES ⚔️

A mixed afternoon for the Spartans, but plenty to take from both games! 💛💙

🟡 FIRSTS 3-0 FLEMING ATHLETIC 🟠

Missing 13 players gave a few lads the chance to step up and show exactly what they can do — and they certainly didn’t disappoint. 👏

It was never really in doubt, despite a pretty ropey second half! 😂

C💫 opened the scoring after Jake Tankard (who, by the way, should have been on a hat-trick by this point 😬) won the ball back. Some neat football followed before it dropped to Cody, who calmly tucked it away.

Then came Ryan Goodwin x2. ⚽⚽

The first came after Ryan broke the offside trap before needing an acrobatic second attempt to finally get it over the line 😂, while his second was a much tidier finish from a pull-back late on.

A comfortable 3-0 in the end, with the second half leaving a little to be desired — but never really any danger of Fleming getting back into it.

🤝 All the best to and good luck for the season!

🔵 RESERVES 1-2 WOOLSTON WANDERERS 🔴

The Reserves went down 2-1, with plenty of players once again getting the opportunity to step up and demonstrate their prowess against a Woolston side playing in the Firsts league.

opened the scoring after already having a great chance early on. Jacob Weems saw his effort saved, while Liam Bolton had the Woolston keeper worried for a moment with a long-range effort. 👀

Then came two quick-fire goals from Woolston to turn the game around.

The lads kept pushing, but Woolston held on late on — helped by a great penalty save and an absolutely ridiculous acrobatic save to deny Sam late on. 🧤🔥

Not the result we wanted, but another valuable run-out and plenty of positives for the lads stepping up.

🤝 Best of luck to woolstonwanderers1stteam for the season!
