This was the U14 first tournament day of the season. Slazengers set out with three players short but still turned out with the hope of borrowing players. We did manage to borrow players from both Leeds and Doncaster, thanks to all those lads. We also had three new players Aled, Robert and Adam all of whom have only being playing a matter of weeks, but they held their own and played well. Slazengers pulled well together with lots of positive encouragement from their Captain Jermane … [Read more...] about Report: 17-10-2004 – Boys U14’s

Slazenger U10 Girls teams' season got off to a steady start against York with a 0-0 draw; a fair result for a side with several new players including Emily Barnett, Catreena Ferguson and Elinor Jackson. In the next match, they were on the wrong end of a 4-0 defeat to an experienced Wakefield side. Slaz' cause was not helped by the loss of defender Hannah Barnett who had to leave the field with a hand injury. Their third match against Leeds also finished 0-0 but there were signs the team is … [Read more...] about Report: 17-10-2004 – Girls U10’s
Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 1st’s (6) vs. (2) York 2nd’s
Previous encounters between these two teams have always been close, but this time Slazenger ran out easy winners. It was not clear what was to come later as previously unbeaten York applied early pressure in this North Division 2 East fixture.

They took the lead from one such attack. … [Read more...] about Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 1st’s (6) vs. (2) York 2nd’s
Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (0) vs (1) Brigg 2nd’s
The story of Slazenger’s seconds season continued as they once again failed to capitalise on some good hockey to go down one nil at home to Brigg seconds. The game started well for Slazengers creating early chances, which saw them have a goal disallowed, and a fierce strike by Andy Foreman cleared off the line by the Brigg defence. The second half started and as so often has happened this season, Slazengers found themselves conceding an early goal. This meant Slazengers had to chase the game … [Read more...] about Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (0) vs (1) Brigg 2nd’s
Report: 16-10-2004 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs (2) Wakefield 2nd’s
A very well organised Slazenger first string traveled to College Grove for this Premier League fixture. Wakefield were immediately under pressure from the speed and intensity of the Slazengers attack, with Holly Tyres and Andrea Wallace coming through from midfield, it looked like Wakefield were in for a drubbing. Wakefield steadied themselves and fought back, scoring first with a determined effort. From that point on it was end to end hockey. Slazenger replied from a well worked … [Read more...] about Report: 16-10-2004 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs (2) Wakefield 2nd’s
