The Halton Spartans are an American Football team based in Widnes/Runcorn,United Kingdom. They are named for the Borough of Halton. They were formed in 2014, and play in the BAFANL Division Two NFC West. ==History== Initially named the Runcorn Spartans, they were formed in early 2014. After contacting former members of the Halton Demons, a team that existed from the late 1980's to early 1990's,〔(Britball Now - Halton Demons )〕 the first training sessions were organised in the local Heath Park. The organisation changed their name to their current guise, the Halton Spartans to better represent their recruitment area. They were also more likely to play in nearby Widnes than Runcorn.〔(Halton Spartans - History )〕 They completed their schedule of associate games, first defeating the LJMU Fury, and defeating fellow associate teams the Tynedale Fury and the Humber Warhawks in their first game at the Select Security Stadium. In December 2014, they were admitted into the BAFANL for the 2015 season and were placed in Division Two NFC West. Ahead of the 2015 season, Double Coverage, a site that covers American Football in Britain made their annual predictions. Only one writer, Richard Penwright, predicted that the Spartans would win their division.〔(DC Writers Pre-Season Picks )〕 This kick-started the "#InRichWeTrust" campaign on Twitter and Facebook.〔(Double Coverage - What We Learned: National Leagues Week 2 )〕 They won their first competitive game, away to the Crewe Railroaders, 24-15.〔(Crewe Railroaders slip to opening day defeat )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Halton Spartans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
