Report: 27-10-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (7) vs. (0) Brigg 4’s

by

Slaz mens 3's had no regular league fixture on Saturday, so played their Sunday cup fixture instead. Their opposition, Brigg 4's had been defeated in the league 7-0 already, so Slaz were hoping to equal their previous result. Brigg's recently laid pitch delivered quick ball movement, however, it also led to the ball bouncing and bobbling, making for fast, if slightly unpredictable behaviour. The first few minutes were evenly matched with both teams adjusting to the surface and finding … [Read more...] about Report: 27-10-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (7) vs. (0) Brigg 4’s

Slazenger's started the brightest in this division 6 cup fixture, with several telling attacks down both flanks and generally controlling the possession well in midfield with Ste Roberts and Rowan Tejura dictating the play and spreading the ball out wide to the wingers.

The game began sluggishly with both teams making some good chances on goal. Slaz look confident on the ball with good holding play from Ben Graham feeding the ball off to the runners to break the D.

Dan Perry continued to break … [Read more...] about Report: 22-10-2011 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs. (1) Bradford 1st’s

Report: 08-10-2011 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs (0) Harrogate 5th’s

by

Slazenger 3rd's took a break from the regular league matches to open their account in the Yorkshire Mens "E" Cup. Slaz was looking for a good start after a stuttering beginning to the season, racing out at the start and instantly putting Harrogate under pressure. Slaz began playing some fast hockey, moving the ball through the midfield and out to Captain Paul Corney, leading the way up front. Few chances went close, but Slaz hindered themselves playing at such a high speed. As the half … [Read more...] about Report: 08-10-2011 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs (0) Harrogate 5th’s
