Slazenger’s seconds suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of Airdale I, a result which leaves them in a precarious position at the bottom of the table. The game started well with Slazenger’s dominating early on and creating a number of chances, with Rich Hutchins giving Slazenger’s the lead midway through the half with a great top corner strike.
Slazenger’s continued to play well but failed to convert any more chances. However they still went in at the end of the first half, one nil up. As has happened so many times this year, though, Slazenger let the lead slip. Airdale drawing level with a well worked short corner routine and then taking the lead midway through the second half.
Slazenger’s continued to press but lacked shape and struggled to make a breakthrough. Airdale eventually wrapping the game up with a break away goal late on.
Slazenger’s have now lost after being ahead at half time on five occasions this season, something that they need to work on if they are to avoid relegation.
