Slazenger 4's game against Airedale turned, rather surprisingly, into a fractious affair with several flash points throughout the game. The home team started brightly, fielding just the one adult outfield player at the start of the match and once again quickly got into their stride, passing the ball around, retaining possession reasonably well and creating several goalscoring chances, that with a little composure should have been converted into goals. Aidan Hopkinson and Tom Pitchforth … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Mens 4th’s (Dev) (2) vs. (0) Airedale 3rd’s

There were very few scoring chances for the home side despite Peter Gunning … [Read more...] about Report: 29-10-2011 – Mens 4th’s (0) vs. (0) Airedale 3rd’s
