A double strike from Butel lined up Slazenger for an impressive eight match unbeaten run.
Slazenger defeated Airdale firsts 2-1, but it wasn’t all plain sailing and Slazenger’s nonchalant start could have cost them points.

And Butel, Wiper and Kaye proceeded to run Airedale ragged.
Butel scored in each half off well-struck short corners. Man of the match went to Dave Hellam who sealed viectory with a quick-reaction top-drawer save from a well-struck, up-close under-cut shot towards the end of the match.
