Report: 22-10-2011 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Newcastle Uni. 1st’s

October 22, 2011 by Slazenger HC

Slaz ladies 1st team faced off against one of the strongest teams in the league;  Newcastle university 1st team. After a fast and furious game, the team came away with a solid draw, in a 6 goal thriller.

The game was never going to be a slow one, as Slaz looked for a second win and Newcastle attempted to beat the newcomers. With end to end hockey, it wasn’t long until the first goal was scored. A short corner was cleanly dispatched by Katie Firth. However Newcastle was not going to make it easy, scoring their first within 10 minutes; a fast break was not cleared from the area, allowing the opposition a shot on goal. A few minutes later they followed up with a flowing move, setting up a second shot on goal.

Before the half time whistle went, Slaz netted a second to draw level. Sarah Cooper on her first game back broke through the defence, going one on one with the keeper, to slot home her first of the season.

The second half was far closer, with fewer goals. The defense of both teams tackled harder and pressed further. It appeared as though the home team were in control. But 60 mins in, it was Slaz on the back foot as Newcastle netted their third. With slazenger pressing so hard, it was only a matter of time before the team sank a third. Ailish Henry pressured the defence into an error, allowing her to slot the equaliser home with a smooth reverse stick shot.

Both teams had several chances after this, but it remained this way to the end; the result a fair reflection of the game.

Report: 07-02-2004 – Mens 1st’s (3) vs (4) Newcastle Uni 1st’s

February 7, 2004 by Slazenger HC

Slazenger gave top of the table side, Newcastle University, a big scare in this league Division 2 clash but were unable to take any points.

After last week’s defeat, Slazenger started nervously, struggling to keep posession and to contain the students’ lively forward line.

The home defence showed some steel with Mike Thornicroft commanding at sweeper, but the Newcastle side continued to press and took the lead from a disputed penalty corner.

Alec Gilsten missed a great chance for the Horbury side to draw level, before the visitors doubled the lead after slow reactions from the defence.

Slazenger made a disasterous start to the second periof conceding another goal from a penalty corner.

But they showed great team spirit and, with Chris Hayton bottling up the Newcastle defence, clawed their way back into the match. Thornicroft flicked in for a penalty and Mark Swinden scored a second at the far post.

The University team hit back almost immediately to restore their lead, but with Simon Chamerlain and Ben Wells strong at back and Paul Wiper and Richard Whawell causing trouble down the flanks, Slazenger gained the initiative.

Mike Shaw added a third after excellent link-up play between Wiper and Thornicroft.

Gilston and Wiper went close to securing a point but Newcastle held out. Slazenger are away to second place Stockton this week

November 9, 2002 by Slazenger HC

Slazengers firsts team briefly topped the North League Division 2 following their 2-1 win at York, but a 2-1 reversal at home to second-placed Newcastle University dropped them to second.

It was a good weekend for Kevin Windler who scored all three Slazengers goals and took man of the match on Saturday.

Defender Will Buckley was man of the match in Sunday’s clash.

October 20, 2001 by Slazenger HC

Slazengers long trip to Newcastle University in North Division 2 took its toll for a while, but ultimately proved successful.

Newcastle started strongly and put the Slazenger defence under pressure but they were able to absorb anything thrown at them.

It took about 20 minutes to break the deadlock but it was Slazenger who broke the deadlock through Windler. Slazenger continued to put the North side under pressure but were denied a further goal before half-time.

Straight from re-start Slazenger applied more pressure and were soon 2-0 up as Mark Butel grabbed his first of the afternoon with a great solo run and finish that left the goal-keeper scrambling.

Newcastle continued to press but again Slazenger maintained their composure before hitting back for David Kaye to score.

Keith Whittle then lobbed the goalkeeper for Butel to tuck away his second.

The home side did grab one goal in the final few seconds of the game but Slazenger were dominant and deserved the three points.
