Slazengers mens 2’nd team suffered no ill effects following the Christmas break with their first game back resulting in a resounding 7-0 victory over Chapeltown mens 2’s. The first 10 minutes or so were quite even with Chapeltown going close on a couple of occasions but once Simon Randall had opened the scoring for Slazengers, things were pretty much one way traffic.
Captain Ben Graham made it 2 after good work from Ste Roberts for Slazengers to lead 2-0 at the break. Chapeltown started the 2nd half determined to get back into it and again for 10 minutes the game was even but following Slazengers 3rd through Brett Cunningham, Chapeltown heads went down and Slazengers ran in 4 more. Both Simon Randall and Brett Cunningham grabbed their 2nd goals with a couple of excellent finishes with Byron Dean and Simon Chamberlain also getting on the scoresheet.
Dan Atkinson was excellent down the right flank all game picking up a number of assists and deservedly took the man of the match award. Slazengers will look to build on this result away at Huddersfield on Saturday.
