"There is only one rule at Slaz - you don't lose to Wakefield" were the words of Dave Ellam, ringing in the ears of the Slazenger team as they appoached the bouncy blue College Grove pitch. Slaz were determined not to easily let the memory of their recent win against Chapeltown slip and started the game strongly, chasing down and pressing the Wakefield defence.
