|
| == Newark Hitmen ==
| | The played in the SPL for 5 seasons and have played 3 masters matches. |
| | |
| [http://spedr.com/256vi Newark Hitmen] are a Hattrick club owned by [[User:MickL67|MickL67]] who play in Series II.1 of [[Scotland|Scotland]]. Since the clubs formation at in September 2004 at the end of Season 11 (Scotland) they have won 3 titles in Series IV, 1 in Series III and last season their first title in Series II. They traditionally play in a White Home top featuring 1 green band accross the chest, green shorts and white socks. Recently, the club have added a pink and black away kit after having a number of different designs. All away kits have featured the Chest Band.
| |
| | |
| Last season they challenged for a place in the Scottish Premier versus [[INCHES ATHLETIC]] in a playoff but lost 3-2 after extra time courtesy of a controversial penalty kick [http://spedr.com/27rgq]. MickL67 admitted however that INCHES had been the better team in the match and probably deserved the victory.
| |
| | |
| The Hitmen are sworn enemies of [[ISSoldati]] ''(formerly known as [[ItalScozia]])'' owned by [[User:TdiGriminale|TdiGriminale]]. Together they make up the Coppa Annoni Rivalry, arguably the fiercest derby match in Hattrick Scotland. | |
| | |
| The club are renowned for playing attacking football and training wingers.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Formation ==
| |
| | |
| The original Newark Hitmen were formed around February 2004 whilst MickL67 was living in Toronto, Canada but the team played in Scotland. Mick was introduced to the game by TdiGriminale. This original club went by the name Newark Celtic and had a short lived history of just 8-10 weeks before going bot due to lack of net access. Griminale also left the game around the same time for similar reasons.
| |
| | |
| Around May 2004 Mashup, owner of The Fighting Irish Celts encouraged TdiGriminale to return to the game which, he did with the team ItalScozia. 3 months later, August 2003, Griminale encouraged Mick to return. Mick advised he would once he was back in Scotland the following month. In September 2004, Newark Hitmen were born. The name Newark was in honour of Port Glasgow, the clubs hometown with Hitmen being a trubute to Bret "Hitman" Hart. (later Micks support of boxer Ricky Hatton & liking of the game Hitman cemented the name).

| |
| | |
| [[Image:OfficialCAtrophy.png]]
| |
| | |
| Coppa Annoni is a seasonal 2-leg match played between Newark Hitmen and [[ISSoldati|ItalScozia Soldati]]. It is regarded by MickL67 as the highest possible honour available to the Club. Odd Coppas, eg CA1,3 and 5 are played on a home and away basis with one leg at the home of each club. Even Coppas are played in a foreign country, eg CA2 was played in Ireland & Italy with CA4 in Japan.
| |
| | |
| So far there have been 5 Coppa Annonis. After CA5, the Coppa was suspended for 9 seasons due to ItalScozia leaving the game. The return of ItalScozia as ISSoldati meant the rebirth of the Coppa Annoni.
