Slazenger Ladies 1st XI showed their true metal on Saturday, putting bottom of the league Harrogate, to the sword with an impressive 7 - 0 win. Although a good result the score line did not reveal the total dominance Slazenger enjoyed throughout the game. The visitors rarely broke into the Slazenger half in the first 35 mins. Without exaggeration the first half saw 3 shots on goal cleared off the line with many other attempts narrowingly going wide, the scoreline could easily have been into … [Read more...] about Report: 20-03-2010 – Ladies 1st’s (7) vs (0) Harrogate 2nd’s
