Slazenger suffered only their second North Division 2 reversal of the season to strong north eastern-based opposition. The Horbury men took a while to settle into their stride, but just when they did, a misunderstanding in the ‘D’ gifted Tynemouth their opening goal.
And from the re-start, Slazenger succombed to further pressure and conceded a second. Slazenger missed a lot of chances in the second half. Windler finally found the chink in the Tynemouth armour, but it was too little too late.
Two minutes from time Tynemouth rubbed salt into the wound with a lead-extending third.
Slazenger face Wakefield at College Grove on Saturday, push back 1.30pm, followed up on Sunday with a tough clash with Huddersfield in the second round of the first-team cup.
