Slazengers Mens 2nd team travelled to Sheffield Uni Bankers knowing that they were in for a tough game following some good results for Bankers in previous weeks. Bankers started the game well, passing the ball with confidence, attacking the Slazengers ‘d’ and creating chances. Part time goalkeer James Walker made some good saves early on but couldn’t do anything about a miss hit shot that looped over his glove to give Bankers the lead. Slazengers were determined to get back in the game and a strong attack down the right by Jake Barras saw him draw the keeper before squaring the ball. It was only a last ditch foul by Bankers that saved a goal, but rightly saw a penalty flick awarded. Ben Graham stepped foward to convert to ensure the scores were level at the break.
Bankers again started the 2nd half well and took the lead with another scrappy goal, Slazengers failed to clear when they should have allowing Bankers to score. It was up to Slazengers to raise their game which they did, another attack down the right proving to be decisive only this time it was Simon Randall who squared to Graham who grabbed his second. Slazengers were now getting on top and took the lead when a well worked short corner saw Ste Roberts convert. Bankers pressed for the equalizer but couldn’t make any inroads with Slazengers holding on for the win. Rowan Tejura took the man of the match award for Slazengers.
