Spartak made their return today against Kingsthorpe Mavericks and despite the standard drop outs on the morning we made a good start and found ourselves a goal up with a well taken finish by now Mavs player Kiwi Norton. We came close to another as cramps majestically brought down a Snorts long ball but his effort landed on top of the bar. One of many chances for crampy 😉 Mavs finished the half strong and forced a save from Simmo before equalising on the stroke of half time.
Mavericks had the legs on us in the second half and with players starting to drop the home side soon found themselves 3-1 up with Kiwi getting one for Mavs having swapped sides at the break.
However, with just 5 minutes to go Spartak found a second wind…. Inspired by Max Winterburn who pushed forward and firstly got one goal back before adding a last gasp equaliser.
A great game and all the best to the Mavs in the coming season. Same time next year???
