Best player:
It was so much of a team effort that it’s almost impossible to decide. For each match, different players stepped up, and for each match, different players fumbled. But a decisions have to be made, so at the end of it all, the Best Player goes to Kuan Yang.
In a team that was up one moment and down the next, Kuan Yang stayed steady throughout. It was consistent play in and out from him; something badly needed by this inconsistent team. He had vision, he had strength in tackles, and he still had a mean shot. It was his defensive nous and sacrifice that gave others like Kenny, Nick and Su Rong the chance to bombard forward and win matches.
Borak says:
Brilliant one half, anonymous the next… or is it the other way around?
Anything goes.
Spartans were the masters of the hit-and-run game this year; at least until suffering a major taste of their own medicine in the game against UniHawks.
If driving was an analogy for Division 1 this year, then Spartans would be the drivers who drove at breakneck speed, did death-defying stunts then slammed on the brakes just hard enough to avoid falling over the cliff to a fiery end.
Theirs was hardly a version of joga bonito, but it didn’t matter how they won, any three points gained were gladly welcomed.
It must also be said that the fixtures played a good part in Spartans’ fairytale. They were blessed by good fortune that Ztec were not at full strength, that Innebandy took long enough to get started, and that UniHawks ran out of steam; but it must be said that fortune favours the brave. No one could have seen Spartans achieving silver this year, and no one can possibly see what the see-saw Spartans come up with next year.
