Slazengers mens first team faced high flyers Driffield and came away on the wrong side of a 7-2 scoreline. As is so often the case this season, Slazengers found themselves 2-0 after barely 10 minutes and had only themselves to blame with both goals coming as a result of defensive errors. Slazengers pulled one back though with Paul Wiper scoring an excellent individual goal, beating a number of defenders before slotting under the keeper. Driffield continued to press and scored again before Ben … [Read more...] about Report: 12-12-2009 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs (7) Driffield 1st’s

Slazengers mens first eleven suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Leeds which could certainly come under the title of 'difficult to take'.

Bankers would have been confident of recording a win and although they had plenty of possession, it was all in their own half and they rarely threatened the Slazenger goal. The best chance of the first half fell to Slazengers … [Read more...] about Report: 07-11-2009 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs. (3) Sheffield Uni Bankers 4th’s
