Slazenger seconds recorded their second league win on the season with a hard fought but scrappy win over Airedale firsts. The home side entered the game knowing that anything less than a win would not be good enough and that added pressure showed early on, with Airedale making much of the early running and home 'keeper Tom Peniston making some good saves. The visitors took the lead mid-way through the half after a mix up in the Slazenger defence, but this acted as spur for the home side … [Read more...] about Report: 20-11-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs. (1) Airedale 1st’s

Report: 13-11-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs (6) Sheffield Bankers 5th’s
Slazenger’s seconds came into this game in confident mood after some good results in previous weeks but were soundly beaten by a very strong student team. Slazenger’s were 3-0 down inside the first eight minutes and were eventually beaten 6-1 although the score line didn't reflect the effort put in by the Slazenger’s players. The only high note of the game was a fantastic top corner drag flick by Rich Hutchins early in the second half. The visiting keeper was forced to make some great … [Read more...] about Report: 13-11-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs (6) Sheffield Bankers 5th’s
Report: 06-11-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (3) vs (1) LA Metros 3rd’s
Slazenger’s seconds finally grabbed their elusive first win of the season with a well deserved 3-1 win away at LA Metros thirds, a result which will hopefully kick start their season. The game started very well for Slazenger’s, who found themselves a goal up inside the first two minutes, Tim Carr with the finishing touch after some good build up play through the midfield. From then on, the game was not pretty with both sides not playing to the standard they would expect to. But it was LA … [Read more...] about Report: 06-11-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (3) vs (1) LA Metros 3rd’s
Report: 30-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (6) vs. (1) Rotherham 3rd’s
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
Report: 23-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs (2) Halifax 2nd’s
Once again, Slazenger’s seconds were left disappointed after a poor performance going down 2-1 away to Halifax seconds. A result that leaves them rooted firmly to the bottom of the table. The story of the season continued with Slazenger’s playing some great hockey but then letting themselves down with individual errors and a lack of ability to dig deep when needed. The game started with Slazenger’s playing some good hockey but found themselves caught out midway through the first half going a … [Read more...] about Report: 23-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs (2) Halifax 2nd’s
