Slazenger 3rds never recovered from a slow start which saw them concede three early goals as they lost 6-3 at Ben Rhydding 4ths in the Yorkshire League. Three wins in four games had lifted Slazenger away from trouble near the foot of Division Five but they were not helped by two of their players going to the wrong venue and only arriving moments before kick-off. The hosts were 3-0 up inside about 20 minutes before Claire Dunstan continued her recent scoring spree by pulling one back after … [Read more...] about Report: 08-02-2014 – Ladies 3rd’s (3) vs. (6) Ben Rhydding 4th’s

"There is only one rule at Slaz - you don't lose to Wakefield" were the words of Dave Ellam, ringing in the ears of the Slazenger team as they appoached the bouncy blue College Grove pitch.

Slazenger were looking forward to their game against Chapeltown - having come close to getting a result on the last few games they knew this was their chance to capitalize on all the extra training and greatly appreciated help from Coaches Steve Wood and Dave Ellam. However Chapeltown, despite their position at the bottom of the league were determined to go down fighting and held a buoyant Slazenger team for the first 20 minutes, despite clearly struggling and had a few attacks on goal which the … [Read more...] about Report: 25-01-2014 – Ladies 1st’s (5) vs. (0) Chapeltown 1st’s

With no subs the challenge was on to test the ladies fitness when Pocklington arrived with a 15 strong squad. Pocklington battled well against the still undefeated Slazengers, they had a few chances with short corners but Slazengers defence was solid with Donna Slack saving 2 goals from the line. Other than that Pocklington never looked like scoring. Slazengers had the majority of the possession and scored 2 goals from open play, one being a deflection, and a goal from a short … [Read more...] about Report: 25-01-2014 – Ladies 2nd’s (2) vs. (0) Pocklington 1st’s
