Slazengers mens first XI travelled to Driffield for their first league game of the campaign only to see the game descend into an almost farcical situation. Having travelled with only 11 players after a player had pulled out on Saturday morning, they soon found themselves down to 10 after Jonny White was injured in the first 5 minutes of the game. This was compounded by the fact that captain Will Buckley pulled a hamstring mid way through the first half leaving Slaz with only 9 fit players. This … [Read more...] about Report: 26-09-2009 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs (8) Driffield 1st’s

A change of formation however and a team … [Read more...] about Report: 05-09-2009 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs (5) LA Carnegie 2nd’s
