The Sheffield Spartans are the 2006/2007 ENIHL playoff champions after beating Haringey 4-3 in a close final at Coventry. After going ahead 1-0 in the first the Spartans came from behind twice before taking the lead once more with minutes to go in the 3rd period.

The end of the regular season saw the Spartans finish third in the Northern League, and miss out on pushing for the top two spots due to a lack of consistency with performances from week to week. I believe this is partly attributable to the young age of the squad, and if we’d have had another one or two older more experienced players in certain game situations the results might have been different.
