Slazenger seconds have finally found a winning formula in this year’s higher division. From the off they were the better team against a competitive King Cross. Slazenger won this Division 4 clash 2-0.
The youngest of the Swindens opened the scoring and should have had a lot more by the end of the game. Marcus Taylor scored the second with a beautifully struck short corner. Attack after attack from a quick, skillful Slazenger side combined with excellent running and vision from James Swinden opened the door,
But unfortunately Slazenger were unable to convert. The defence and goal-keeper had little to do but what they did do they did well. On Saturday, Slazenger seconds travel to Lincoln, push-back 1:30pm.
