After a succesful 'Back to Hockey' campaign over the summer Slazenger's 4th ladies team travelled to Huddersfield with 5 of their new players. It was a great team effort the first half and Slazenger were unlucky to conceed a goal. In the second half both Claudia Barber and Megan Bird played some excellent hockey but fatigue set in and the young Dragons team were able to score twice more. Emma Elsey played an amazing first game in a Slazenger shirt and got the well deserved Player of the … [Read more...] about Report: 27-09-2014 – Ladies 4th’s (0) vs. (3) Huddersfield Dragons 3rd’s

Report: 20-09-2014 – Ladies 1st’s (1) vs. (3) Huddersfield Dragons 1st’s
Opened up game play extremely strong providing Huddersfield Dragons a difficult challenge. Shots on goal were unfortunately saved - with some hitting the post causing frustration. Pressing forward Dragons were able to score twice before Slazengers eventually connected with the back board after a fantastic strike at a difficult angle from Helen Hough. Dragons went on to score a 3rd, however, Slazengers held their own towards the end of the game. Outstanding play from Sarah Hobbs and Lisa … [Read more...] about Report: 20-09-2014 – Ladies 1st’s (1) vs. (3) Huddersfield Dragons 1st’s
Report: 20-09-2014 – Ladies 3rd’s (0) vs. (1) Chapeltown 2nd’s
All started well with Slazengers determined to win their first league match of the season despite many new young faces in the side. Slazengers dominated the game but failed to capitalise on several good chances and numerous short corners; Slazengers were just unable to find the back of the net. Despite solid performances in defence from Emily Chason, Mandy Lacey and Sarah Ritchey the Slazengers team were caught on the break and Chappletown got a lucky goal in the second half. An … [Read more...] about Report: 20-09-2014 – Ladies 3rd’s (0) vs. (1) Chapeltown 2nd’s
Report: 15-03-2014 – Ladies 3rd’s (2) vs. (3) Epworth 1st’s
Battling Slazengers 3rds hit back from three goals behind at half-time to push second-placed Epworth all the way before losing their Yorkshire League clash 3-2. Slazengers were still in danger of relegation going into the Division Five contest and were not helped by having top scorer Claire Dunstan pinched by the already-promoted second team at the last moment. Perhaps their planning was affected as they leaked three goals to their high-flying visitors, who had won the reverse fixture 8-0, … [Read more...] about Report: 15-03-2014 – Ladies 3rd’s (2) vs. (3) Epworth 1st’s
Report: 08-03-2014 – Ladies 1st’s (4) vs. (1) Leeds 1st’s
Slazenger turned out to play Leeds Ladies for their final home game this season with a new Captain, a new formation and a couple of players who really made a difference to the squad. Whether these ingredients would change their losing streak was another question. The home team started strongly, following a very encouraging team talk by Kelly Whittam prior to the game. Despite the top of the league team taking a very early lead, Slaz kept on fighting and driving forward as a unit - it was … [Read more...] about Report: 08-03-2014 – Ladies 1st’s (4) vs. (1) Leeds 1st’s
