Slazenger started well and Butel put them one up. Two more from Butel and Gilston put Slazenger firmly in the driving seat at half-time.

Mark Swinden made it 4-0 early in the second half but a rare mistake let Hull in for what turned out to be a consolation goal.

DEPLETED SLAZENGER TRIUMPH IN THRILLER

Slazenger travelled to Hull without several regular members of its squad – not knowing the strength or abillity of this Division One University side.

The game itself was a harder fought contest than Slaz had anticipated or hoped for.

However, after Slaz had conceeded early on due to first game jitters and fierce pressure, they came back with a finely-tuned corner routine, which was struck home with some venom and accuracy by skipper Mark Butel.

The game continued with tit-for-tat posession, resulting in Hull scoring a second and man of the match Alec Gilston claiming a great goal straight after.

The second half saw Slaz dominating most of this period, with Gilston scoring from his second from a short corner, in report to Hull’s third.

In the last ten minutes, a fine solo drive and dribble from Haydn Foster resulted in goal number four – to help the Horbury men to a winning league start.

On Saturday, Slaz entertain Ramgharia, push-back 1:30pm.
