Slazenger thirds took another giant stride up the Yorkshire League Division 6 with a narrow 2-1 victory away at local rivals Huddersfield thirds. The visitors opened well, passing the ball fluently and creating chances from the start. Robert Stephens led the forward line well but it was Jonathan Clewlow who opened the scoring for Slazenger, beating the goalie at the top of the D after being put through by playmaker Simon Miller.

Kay was far too lively for an older Huddersfield XI as all his goals came in quick-fire succession in the first half. The first has a deflected free hit, the second a conversion of Anwar Al-Khaili's excellent cross, and the third from another deflected free hit. Huddersfield pulled a goal back but never really threatened Slazenger goal-keeper Simon Killey.
