Slazenger went out in the first round of the Hockey Association Trophy on penalties, but could hold their heads up high after a fantastic comeback on Sunday.

Will Buckley tucked one in at a penalty corner and Alec Gilston finished off a free flowing move to carve the bankers defence wide open and when Mike … [Read more...] about Report: 01-11-2003 – Men 1st’s (4) vs. (5) Sheffield Uni Bankers 2nd’s

Wakefield Ladies fourths visited local rivals Slazenger 2nds on Saturday hoping to at least come away with a share of the spoils, but in fact were beaten 3-0. Although both sides had the opportunities neither managed to score in the first half and the second period followed the same pattern with Slazenger again attacking strongly. The deadlock was broken after another attack was initially blocket, with a well-struck shot from the edge of the D. Wakefield's youngsters never gave up, well … [Read more...] about Report: 08-03-2003 – Ladies 2nd’s (3) vs (0) Wakefield 4th’s
