A strong Slazenger U10 Boys line-up blitzed all-comers to claim a morale-boosting quartet of wins in the latest Yorkshire Youth Hockey League series of tournament fixtures at York’s Huntington School.
Hero of the hour was player-of-the-tournament Jenson Brook, who plundered a superb nine goals in a virtuoso showing.
After a decent set of results in the Janaury tournament, Slaz were unfortunate to be relegated to the third league for the penultimate tournament of the season on goal difference and with the chance of a trophy gone, the club were able to take a larger than normal squad.
Their impressive victory roll started with a 2-0 success over Chapeltown A, ahead of a 4-0 thumping of their B side.
Further emphatic wins were notched against Wakefield, vanquished 4-0 in a one-sided derby and Airedale, beaten 4-1.
Star of the show was Brook, with his best goal coming against Chapeltown B, when he netted a well-struck angled shot after a fine solo run.
The industrious James Bennett also found the net twice, while Isaac Fisher claimed a hat-trick of goals.
Ralph Toon was beaten only once in an eye-catching showing.
