The 2010 season can be seen as successful for the Spartans, especially in the 2010 Waratah Cup as they have progressed to the semi-finals of the competition, and have been dubbed 'The Giant Killers' having knocked out the Rockdale City Suns in Round 3, [1] Sydney United in the Round of 16, [2] and Granville Rage in the Quarter Finals [3] to book a spot in the semi-finals against New South Wales Premier League side Marconi Stallions.
In 2010 the Spartans Women were promoted from the NSW Super League to the NSW Premier League after finishing on top of the Club Championship with all five teams making the semi-finals. The Under-12s and Under-14s both won their respective Grand Finals.
