Slazengers mens 2nd team continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 3-3 draw at home to Leeds Gryphons but in reality were lucky to get anything out of the game. Leeds came with a large squad and their extra legs paid off with Slazengers continually getting overrun in the midfield however some hard defending and good work kept Leeds out. It was Slazengers who took the lead when Jack Mumford's speculative shot took a deflection off a defender to wrong foot the keeper and go in. The … [Read more...] about Report: 12-10-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (3) vs. (3) Leeds Gryphons 5th’s

Slaz ladies 3s played their first league game of the season, and although they were convincingly beaten by the better team, the score wasn't a fair reflection of the game played. The ladies were short of 4 of their regular squad but youngsters Josie Hughes, Alice Gascoigne and Robyn Campbell stepped up from the 4's to assist and didn't look out of place. Despite some great passing in midfield, sadly Slaz couldn't get past the oppositions well organised defence to get a shot on … [Read more...] about Report: 05-10-2013 – Ladies 3rd’s (0) vs. (4) Sheff Uni.

Having said this, the first half was very closely fought with both sides having chances which they failed to take. … [Read more...] about Report: 05-10-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (2) vs. (5) Kingston-upon-Hull 1st’s
