18.01.2022 Supporters Of Spartans Last night saw our club win all four games played. What was more pleasing is that all the coaches believe that there is still room to improve across a few different areas. This puts us in a good position moving forward for the rest of this crazy season.... As a sports club, winning is important but so are the friendships formed and the desire to give your best no matter the circumstances. This season it is also great to see Jordan Stanwix back on the court after a long period out of the game and Kate Berry back after the birth of her baby boy. Below are some photos of the last couple of weeks. As always: Respect All-Fear None
