The Spartans were settling into the routine now of playing monthly matches and still supporting the efforts of Old Salians in their league. Old Salians were down to just one team now and by the end of the year, they had decided to drop out of the league. It was sometime during this season that the team decided to drop Sunday afternoon training and concentrate purely on Wednesday evenings.
The Spartans spent the rest of the season playing monthly matches from the Pool. Soon the focus of their training became fixed on the second Bingham Cup tournament which was set for May. It was hosted by the Kings Cross Steelers at Esher Rugby Club's ground. From just 8 teams in the first tournament, 20 teams from around the world participated in 2004. The Spartans won through their Group to the knock-out stages. They narrowly beat their rivals, the Steelers to make it to the final where they were beaten by a strong San Francisco Fog. The Fog retained their trophy.
