Report: 13-11-2011 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs. (2) Brigg 1st’s
Slaz had a few key players missing, but gelled very well together, playing better hockey than they have for weeks against a team 2 divisions higher in the semi-final of the cup.

Brigg were on the back foot much of the game even though they were ahead by a goal for half the game.

Report: 12-11-2011 – Mens 3rds (8) vs. (0) Rotherham 4ths
Slazenger 3rds got their first league win on the board in emphatic fashion, with a 8-0 win over local rivals Rotherham 4th's. In recent games, Slaz seemed able to create many chances, without the ability to convert them to goals. This was rectified this weekend. Slaz started in brisk fashion, pressing the Rotherham defence within minutes. Rotherham seemed to be caught on the back foot, and struggled to contain the pressure. This was proven right, when John Sykes netted the first of his hat … [Read more...] about Report: 12-11-2011 – Mens 3rds (8) vs. (0) Rotherham 4ths
