Slazenger seconds produced a fine display to see off Rotherham thirds. But the Horbury club were still left dissapointed by the fact that this was only a friendly as they could certainly have used the three league points they would have won. Slazenger started brightly and were creating early chances, the first of which was scrambled in by James Walker. Rotherham did however, pull level thanks to a subtle touch by Paul Johnson but this only served to spur Slazengers on to do better … [Read more...] about Report: 30-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (6) vs. (1) Rotherham 3rd’s

Slaz soon found their feet though and started to create chances of their own, Andy Foreman going close on a couple of occasions. And it was the slaz pressure that paid off, Rich Hutchins turning in a Ben Garside through … [Read more...] about Report: 02-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs (2) Sheffield Bankers 4th’s
