A side depleted through injury and illness had a tough encounter with a travelling Hull University 2nd string. The team got off to a strong start, with some hard pressing and good possession from the Slaz midfield. Unforturtunately, as the team pressed higher, lookin for an opening goal, Hull broke on the counter attack, putting them a goal ahead against the run of play. The home team continued to look for an equaliser, with some strong defensive work from Dave Gascoigne, Matt Feather and … [Read more...] about Report: 29-11-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (0) vs. (2) Hull Uni 2nd’s

Report: 20-09-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (2) Doncaster 4th’s
Slazenger Mens 3rd's returned to League action in a new league for the third time in 3 seasons. With a place in division 4 and host of new players in the squad, the team were looking to start the season on the front foot. The game started well, though the team appeared rusty, with several passes going astray. As the team got into the game, the flow improved and Slazenger controlled much of the passing. Hard work from Matt Banks, Rob Whawell and Andy Fisher gave Slazenger much of the ball. … [Read more...] about Report: 20-09-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (2) Doncaster 4th’s
Report: 01-03-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (0) vs. (5) Hull University 2nd’s
Slazenger Mens 3's latest match away against top of the table Hull University looked a tough proposition on paper and so it proved to be. Slazengers started well and worked hard looking to deny the opposition time and space on the ball. It was unfortunate that the Horbury side conceded against the run of play and never really recovered from this set back. Despite a lot of effort on hot afternoon Slazengers continued to concede unfortunate goals and went into the half-time interval 3-0 … [Read more...] about Report: 01-03-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (0) vs. (5) Hull University 2nd’s
Report: 08-02-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (5) vs. (0) Kingston-Upon-Hull 4th’s
Slaz 3's travelled out to Kingston-Upon-Hulls ground looking to build on their recent run of form, and surprise goal scoring tallisman Simon Taylor looking for his 3rd in as many games (after a run of 10+ years without). The team started brightly, winning the toss and playing with the wind at their backs for the first half. The team worked well, controlling the speed of play and retaining possession to the frustration of the opposition. However the Hull defence made it hard work for Slaz to … [Read more...] about Report: 08-02-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (5) vs. (0) Kingston-Upon-Hull 4th’s
Report: 01-02-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (8) vs. (2) Garforth 1st’s
Slazengers 3's latest game was a home fixture against local rivals Garforth. In recent seasons these matches have been tough encounters against evenly matched sides. However, Garforth only had eight players and were up against it before the match had even started. To their credit however, for the first 20 minutes it was the home team who looked like they were playing with 8 players. Their passing was slow and predictable and they kept on making the wrong choices across the pitch. Instead of … [Read more...] about Report: 01-02-2014 – Mens 3rd’s (8) vs. (2) Garforth 1st’s
