Slazenger Mens 1st’s got off to a flying start, even with the 10:30 push back away at Chapeltown. Within 10 minutes, the team had secured the first goal, in what turned out to be a fast pivoting scoreline; with Slaz and Chapeltown fighinting for the upperhand. Slaz was unable to put in many of the good chances it created in the first half, with Chapeltown coming back strong to put two past the Slaz keeper, leaveing slaz to wondering what had happened.
However, with the pressure on Slaz raised their game, creating further chances with some interittent return of their fast flowing hockey. A goal later, Slaz were level, and looking for an third.
With only 15 minutes remaining, Slaz continued to pile on the pressure, with hard working Man of the Match Dan Perry on the right wing slicing the home defence to pieces. Two goals in the dying minutes secured the win for Slazenger, with Issac Fisher claiming the fourth; a deflection from a thunderous cross by Richard Tuddenham.
Chapeltown still pressed on and scored a third, but there wasn’t enough time to score any further, with Slaz dominant on the pitch.
The win keeps the team in second place in the league and promotion position.
