The men's 1st team match was an ill tempered game. However, the game started well and didn't resemble the debacle that followed. Slaz moved into space, gaining ground on Rotherham, but both teams contested well and neither side could get good chances in the D. Each team had long sequences of play, and it looked a close run contest. The game began to turn uglier tempers continuing to rise, the hockey became scrappier, neither side being able to find the upper hand, It was Rotherham who … [Read more...] about Report: 15-12-2012 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs. (1) Rotherham 1st’s
Report: 15-12-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (4) vs. (0) Brigg 4th’s
Slazenger's 3's last league fixture of the year was at home against Brigg 4's.

Harry Gunning and Tom Pitchforth worked well linking up with veteran Geoff Birkett in midfield and wingers Chris Gascoigne and Elliott Golding were always available on the wings. It was no surprise when striker Peter Gunning put the home side in front half way through the … [Read more...] about Report: 15-12-2012 – Mens 5th’s (3) vs. (4) Worksop 3rd’s
Report: 15-12-2012 – Ladies 3rd’s (1) vs. (6) Thirsk 2nd’s
Despite bad weather for the past 3 weeks preventing training sessions, and some new players in the team, Slazengers was off to a strong start, with Gemma Whittam scoring the first goal of the match within the first few minutes.

Report: 09-12-2012 – Girls U12’s Tournament
The 3rd tournament of the season was held last weekend and saw the girls putting in some great performances to finish top of their league. They were beaten only by Thirsk in a very close match with a final score of 3:2, but in all their other games came out on top. They will now progress to league D, and hopefully with a higher standard of opposition we will see them up their game even further. Opposition beaten were Pocklington, Driffield, Halifax, Wakefield … [Read more...] about Report: 09-12-2012 – Girls U12’s Tournament
