Slazenger continued their great start to the season with their first home victory helped by the return of 5 key players. This time Slaz started strongly and after 14 minutes hard work were rewarded by their first goal as Katie Browne calmly slotted the ball through the legs of the Doncaster keeper. Doncaster refused to take this lying down and immediately piled on the pressure. Despite some excellent calling and defending from player of the match Amy Smeaton, Slaz allowed Doncaster to level … [Read more...] about Report: 28-09-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (1) Doncaster 2nd’s
Report: 28-09-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs. (1) Leeds 5th’s
Slazengers mens 2nd team kicked off their league campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Leeds 5th's but in reality will be disappointed not to take all three points. Due to a variety of reasons, Slazengers were without a number of regular players but started the game at a fast tempo and were immediately on top of the opposition going close on a number of occasions. It was however Leeds who took the lead mid way through the first half taking advantage of a quick breakaway. Slazengers started the … [Read more...] about Report: 28-09-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs. (1) Leeds 5th’s
Report: 28-09-2013 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (3) Brigg 3rd’s
Slazenger Mens 3's first league fixture of the season was a sobering experience away against a skilful and energetic Brigg team. The Horbury team had shown good form during pre-season and had strong expectations for a decent performance. However, it was the home side who started the brightest and were posing serious problems for the away team. Slazengers looked off the pace and a little unsure of what they were doing. But for good defensive work from Mark Kitchen and Tony Walker, they could … [Read more...] about Report: 28-09-2013 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (3) Brigg 3rd’s
Report: 21-09-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Chapeltown 1st’s
Slazenger were not looking forward to their first League outing against last season's runners up given a severely depleted squad due to illness, holidays and other commitments. A well organised Chapeltown team started really strongly and Slaz initially struggled to contain them resulting in a very quick goal for the home team. Bystanders could have been forgiven for thinking that a Chapeltown goal fest was going to ensue; however this early goal seemed to spur Slaz into action and they began to … [Read more...] about Report: 21-09-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Chapeltown 1st’s
Report: 21-09-2013 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs. (2) Bingley Bees
Slazengers last pre-season friendly against Bingley Bees, proved to be ideal preparation before the start of their league fixtures next week. The opposition were a young, skilful side, who despite going a couple of goals behind within the first 20 mins, scored by Aidan Hopkinson and Dan Levitt, were not easily deterred and gave the home side lots of problems to think about. The goals had come slightly against the run of play and Bingley didn't waste time in getting back into the game. … [Read more...] about Report: 21-09-2013 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs. (2) Bingley Bees
