Slazenger 2nds did something they didn’t do for most of last season – start playing from the first whistle – as they overcame Lincoln 4-3.
Midway through the first half, Slaz were cruising at 3-0 up, courtesy of striked from Swinden (2) and Tuddenham, only for Lincoln to pull one back.
Disaster struck two minutes into the second half when keeper Bagshaw pulled his groin while attempting to save an effort which made it 3-2.
Tuddenham then bagged his second to give Slaz breathing space at 4-2 up and they missed a chance to increase their tally when a penalty stroke was saved.
A short corner for Lincoln was later converted to end an epic encounter with Slaz holding on.

Slazenger seconds’ kept their winning run intact – even after a 140 mile round trip to Lincoln. Slazenger won 3-1.
Good running and a clinical pass from Birkett allowed Alec Gilston to score the opener.
Ben Graham had a go from just inside the D and his reverse stick and a bobble beat the goal-keeper.
In the second half it was down to man of the match Bagshaw to stop the advancing Lincoln from scoring more than once.
Birkett tucked away the killer third at the end of a daring run into the D at the advancing goalkeeper.
Slazenger seconds are at home on Saturday against Halifax, push back 1.30pm.
