Slaz U16’s fought hard but couldnt break through the York City A defence as they went 1-0 down.
Jonathan Clewlow had a good game in midfield but was blocked at every turn, while Eddie Richardson had a great game in defence.
The U16’s then had a bad day against Boston Spa as they were thumped 4-0.
Gavin Kaye and Neil Hutchins made vital tackles for Slaz, but weight of numbers and some clever short corner routines proved telling in the end as Spa held sway.

Slazenger had mixed fortunes against three of the top sides in the Yorkshire Boy’s U16’s League.
They earned a creditable 1-1 draw with Sheffield Bankers, James Swinden scoring for Slazenger and a third-match draw, also 1-1, with Harrogate, this time Gavin Kaye getting on the scoresheet. But the wheels came off in between when they were well-beaten by last season’s champions Gateshead.
