Slazenger’s seconds followed on from their great result last week with another solid victory against highly placed Ben Rhydding thirds. Slazenger's have a new found confidence and this showed straight from the off, the whole team linking up well to create a number of chances with Neil Croucher at the centre of much of the play. The pressure paid off mid way through the half with Tim Carr getting a subtle touch past the keeper to give Slazenger's the lead.

Report: 05-02-2005 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs. (4) Halifax 2nd’s
A game in which Slazenger were hoping to take maximum points never materialised due to sloppy passing and ill discipline. Slazenger conceded after 18 minutes following their own inability to pass the ball around the midfield, but the turning point came on the half hour when Tom Penistone in the Slaz’ goal was sin-binned for ten minutes for fighting with the opposition. Young Lee Secker kitted up and went in goal but was unable to keep out two well worked short corner routines to leave the … [Read more...] about Report: 05-02-2005 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs. (4) Halifax 2nd’s
