Play Action Shots
Throughout the season Hamilton Sparta has submitted many play action shots in our albums section for our membership. Several of our boys and girl's teams participated in the annual "West Niagara Tournament". It was apparent from talking with players and coaching staff that teams were proud to wear the new strips this season. Both the home and away strips are outstanding as you can see from the action shots. The quality of the uniform was only supassed by the quality of play from our teams. Keep up the great work
