Report: 12-03-2011 – Mens 1st’s (3) vs. (2) LA Carnegie 3rd’s

Slazengers mens first team continued their good form with a well deserved 3-2 victory away at Leeds Adel Carnegie.Slazengers started well and could have been on the score sheet in the first five minutes with both Richard Tuddenham and Ben Graham going close. Adel eventually found their feet and started to press only for Slazengers to take the lead following an excellent breakaway. An Adel short corner was broken down by the defence and the ball was quickly fed to Dan Perry who drove round the back of the defence and squared for Paul Wiper to net a simple finish.

Adel weren’t to be denied though and equalised before the break. Slazengers started the second half a little sluggish and Adel took advantage by taking the lead. This spurred Slazengers into action and it was again Dan Perry who led the Slazengers attack, driving round the back and beating the keeper only to be denied by an Adel foot on the line.

Simon Chamberlain stepped forward to convert the following penalty flick. Slazengers continued to press and took the lead when an excellent move involving Perry and Tuddenham left Ben Graham with an easy finish. Adel tried to get back into the game but Slazengers kept possession well and limited Adel to a couple of half chances.

Dan Perry took the man of the match award for Slazengers who travel to top of the league Bradford next Saturday.
