Report: 17-03-2012 – Ladies 1st’s (2) vs. (1) Durham University 3rd’s
Injury stricken Slaz were not looking forward to their first match without Sarah Hobbs but nevertheless started the game in a very structured way. Strong committed work in midfield and excellent distribution soon led to the first goal being scored by Slaz from a short corner, Jessica Rudge finding the back of the net.

After the 3-3 draw last week Slaz were looking for a win and repeat of their 4-1 success in the Driffield away fixture earlier this season.

Report: 11-02-2012 – Ladies 1st’s (0) vs. (7) Rotherham 1st’s
Slazenger had been monitoring the snow situation on the Rotherham pitch on the Friday and it looked like the game was going to be cancelled. Despite the Rotherham website confirming the cancellation on the Saturday the match went ahead. Slazenger unfortunately had several of their key players missing due to injury (Smithy and Rudgey), availability (Hayles) and unforseen circumstances (Hobbsie) - this seemed to upset the team dynamics and Rotherham were allowed to start quite strongly and settle … [Read more...] about Report: 11-02-2012 – Ladies 1st’s (0) vs. (7) Rotherham 1st’s
