Ringwood Spiders – Displaying commitment and good sportsmanship

Published by Alex Makin on Sunday 26th of July, 2009

The Ringwood Spiders is a football team for people with disabilities and competes within the Football Development Integration Association (FIDA) league.

The Ringwood Spiders are based at Jubilee Park in Ringwood and share facilities and clubrooms with the Ringwood Redbacks. While the Ringwood Spiders were keen to play another round of football, today’s match was cancelled due to poor sportsmanship from the opposing team.

Like all levels of football there is a need for good sportsmanship during the game and while the Spiders were disappointed by the cancellation, it is was great to see that the Spiders did not resort to the tactics that were being used by the opposition.

The Ringwood Spiders were winning the match when it was cancelled and with the other team being required to the forfeit, the Spiders have continued their winning streak.
