Huddersfield Kirklees

On a rainy cold Saturday morning Slazengers made the short journey to take on Huddersfield ladies.

Slazengers first goal came from a free hit just inside the 25, this was taken quickly down the right and crossed to the stick of player of the match Lucy Howard who placed the ball neatly into the back of the goal to take Slazengers into the lead.

Slazengers continued to press and were duly rewarded when a free flowing passing move saw this time the scorer Caro Schofield hammering the ball past the goal keeper.

Slazengers continued to dominate and would have no doubt made it more if the Huddersfield team hadn’t called a stop to the match due to the torturous conditions.

The score of 2 – 0 stood.

The Ladies 3rds had an unlucky draw against a physically tough Huddersfield 1s early on Saturday morning. Huddersfield started off strong getting their two goals of the game in the first 15 minutes before Slazengers woke up. Beth Prince worked tirelessly in midfield and created some good chances, this resulted in the first goal coming from a deflection off the stick of Hannah Chilton 10 minutes before half time after an excellent shot from Mollie Gilbert.

Slaz kept their heads high going into the second half and player of the match Hannah Chilton had multiple attacks down the left wing. Slaz then gained an attacking short corner and Linda Stacey powered the ball into the goal after a battle between the teams in the D.

Slazengers fought hard and produced a great team performance throughout the game resulting in what can only be described as an unfortunate 2-2 draw.
