Report: 01-12-2012 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs. (2) City of York 2nds

by

City of York stood with Slaz around the circle to hold a minute silence for Bob France who will be missed by all. Slaz were unsettled to start and looked weaker than top of league side, but Slaz created spells of good play which kept city of York at bay for much of first half. But York got one through. At half time slaz had nothing to shout about and came out with determination. City of York were on the back foot for much of the second half and realised they were not going to find the win … [Read more...] about Report: 01-12-2012 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs. (2) City of York 2nds

Report: 01-12-2012 – Mens 2nd’s (5) vs. (1) Worksop 2nd’s

by

Slaz men's 2nds continued their great run of form with a win over the Worksop 2nds, new to the Yorkshire league. However it was Worksop who started the quickest with some quick passing play which put slaz under pressure for first 10 minutes. The home team began to put together a series of passes through the midfield allowing the wingers to set up John Sykes and Jake Barras with a series of shots on goal. It was not all one way traffic.

After several promising breaks Slazengers won a penalty corner and Mark Kitchen was on hand to convert Jack Mumford's previous effort after the umpire had allowed play to continue after an earlier infringement.

Report: 01-12-2012 – Men’s 4th’s (3) vs. (2) Leeds 7th’s

by

Slaz got off to a slow start, not playing as well as usual, and were punished as Leeds scored 2. This early concession woke up the visiting team, who promptly began to get to work. Some stronger, more fluid passing set up Daz Buttery, to get a goal back. Slaz continued to improve and as the first half went on, Buttery netted a second, drawing the scores level. By the time the second half started, the visitors were in ascendency and pressure was all one way. It was Robert Cann who wrapped … [Read more...] about Report: 01-12-2012 – Men’s 4th’s (3) vs. (2) Leeds 7th’s
