Slazenger Ladies 1st team took on mid table Rotherham this week with renewed optimism that they could get a decent result. They managed to hold off for a whole 10 minutes this week which was an improvement but conceded the first goal from a short corner quickly followed by a second 5 minutes later. The last 8 minutes of the half saw four further goals as Sarah Cooper scored for Slaz followed by an opposition own goal rightly claimed by Amy Smeaton. At this point Slaz thought they were coming … [Read more...] about Report: 30-11-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (4) vs. (7) Rotherham 1st’s

Ladies 1st's (0) vs. (5) Boston Spa 1st'sSadly Slazenger Ladies 1st team were unable to curb a current run of defeats at Boston Spa this weekend. Although the opposition appeared to start as the stronger team, Slaz defended well and eventually got into their stride mid way through the first half, playing some good hockey and unlucky not to score. It was unfortunate that a Boston Spa goal in the last few minutes saw Slaz 1-0 down at half time.

Report: 05-10-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (2) vs. (5) Kingston-upon-Hull 1st’s
Slazenger travelled across to Hull expecting a challenging game against top of the table Hull and a challenging game was what they got.
