Slazenger Ladies 2s faced top of the league Selby for their return fixture. Slazenger had previously lost to Selby 4-0 so the team knew that they were in for a tough match especially with half of their regular squad missing.

The Slazenger defence held on for the first 20 mins of the opening half but conceded with a goal from open play.  Slazenger had frequent breaks but unfortunately could not convert. Selby continued their onslaught and the end of the first half resulted in 3-0.

Slazenger re-organised their defensive strategy for the second half which worked as no further goals were conceded – final result 3-0. A stunning performance from keeper Lizzie Tunstall resulted with her being awarded player of the match and special mention goes to the 3rd/4th team players who stepped up to help out and Donna Slack for stepping out on the field only 6 weeks after giving birth to her first child.

Amazing inner strength from a true Slaz player – well done Dons!

Facing top of the league was always going to be a tough game. Slazengers started too slowly and Selby scored 2 goals fairly quickly.

Slazengers battled well and no more goals came in the first half. With no subs to call on Slazengers continued to work hard but just couldn’t find the back of the goal. Selby went on to score 2 more finishing the game 4-0 to Selby.

Man of the match went to Alice Gasgoine for her superb performance out of position in her first game for the second team.
