Slazenger Mens 3's first league fixture of the season was a sobering experience away against a skilful and energetic Brigg team. The Horbury team had shown good form during pre-season and had strong expectations for a decent performance. However, it was the home side who started the brightest and were posing serious problems for the away team. Slazengers looked off the pace and a little unsure of what they were doing. But for good defensive work from Mark Kitchen and Tony Walker, they could … [Read more...] about Report: 28-09-2013 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (3) Brigg 3rd’s

Report: 21-09-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Chapeltown 1st’s
Slazenger were not looking forward to their first League outing against last season's runners up given a severely depleted squad due to illness, holidays and other commitments. A well organised Chapeltown team started really strongly and Slaz initially struggled to contain them resulting in a very quick goal for the home team. Bystanders could have been forgiven for thinking that a Chapeltown goal fest was going to ensue; however this early goal seemed to spur Slaz into action and they began to … [Read more...] about Report: 21-09-2013 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Chapeltown 1st’s
Report: 16-02-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (1) v (1) Leeds 6th’s
Slaz mens 2nds had a tough encounter away at Leeds 6ths. The team was below strength to start, with 5 of the regular team unable to play. However, subs from the 3rds stepped up to fill the gap well. The game was played at Horsforth, and their new pitch was slow, bouncy, bobbly which led to the team struggling to adapt in the first few minutes. However, the team maintained a high level of pressure; camping in the oppositions half for the first 20 minutes. However, the team lacked the clinical … [Read more...] about Report: 16-02-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (1) v (1) Leeds 6th’s

Report: 06-01-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (6) vs. (1) Sheffield Hallam 6th’s
Slaz Mens 2nds anticipated a tough encounter with top of the table rivals Sheffield Hallam 6th's. The team set to work, and were rewarded with two goals within the first 10 minutes, putting the team in a strong position; Mick Claes and Matthew Stacey netting early on. However, for the first half, the team didnt appear to assert dominance as the scoreline would suggest. Instead, it was a closely fought affair, with some open play from both sides. The home side took the 2-0 advantage into … [Read more...] about Report: 06-01-2013 – Mens 2nd’s (6) vs. (1) Sheffield Hallam 6th’s
