14.9.13 Spartak 2, Terenure 3
18.9.13 Larkview 3, Spartak 1
21.8.13 Spartak 3 Killinarden 2
A busy week for the over 35s as Dave Mohan’s efforts to keep the team alive bore fruit. Seasoned veterans including Tom Maher, Barry Crowe and Leon David were bolstered by former Sky Blues such as Steve Caffery, Fintan Grace and Kevin O’Connell stepping up to seniors level. (Temporarily in young Fintan’s case!)
The result against Terenure, where goals by Paul Thormley and Graham Johnston were not enough to gain a point, was disappointing. A strong second half performance against Larkview, after going three down , saw Paul Thormley reduce arrears. Despite territorial advantage Spartak missed some straightforward chances and paid the price.
A happier outcome in the second home game where two goals from Brian Farrelly capped an overall stronger display which will give encouragement and showed signs of gradual improvement over the first week of the season.
