Slazenger's top of the table clash against Garforth proved to be just as difficult as anticipated. Despite shading the first 15 minutes of the match Slazengers were unable to capitalise on their superiority and this allowed the opposition to get back into the game. Both sides worked tirelessly in midfield with Jack Mumford and Ste Roberts having to work especially hard in limiting the opposition to only a handful of attacking opportunities. Unfortunately, Garforth managed to score with … [Read more...] about Report: 17-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs. (2) Garforth 1st’s

Report: 10-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs. (2) Doncaster 6th’s
Slazenger Mens 3's were looking for a good response to their recent defeat to Lincoln and were not disappointed with their efforts against Doncaster. From the start Slazenger's looked to retain possession and build good attacks from a strong foundation, unlike last week they were looking to utilise the flanks and hit the opposition on the break. As always, Doncaster were strong at the back and it wasn't going to be easy to break the opposition down. But the signs were encouraging from the … [Read more...] about Report: 10-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (3) vs. (2) Doncaster 6th’s
Report: 11-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (6) vs. (0) City of York (CUP)
Slazenger Mens 3rd team's semi-final cup game against York looked on paper a tough task against tricky opposition, but the away team didn't cause the home side as many problems as was anticipated. From the start Slazengers could afford to play a high tempo game, with a lot of energy, having 4 substitutes available on the sideline. Man of the Match James Walker quickly got into his goalscoring stride when he converted smartly from a well delivered pass into the opposition … [Read more...] about Report: 11-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (6) vs. (0) City of York (CUP)
Report: 03-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (2) Lincoln 2nd’s
Slazenger Men's 3's unbeaten start to the season came to an abrupt end with a 2-1 defeat to visitors Lincoln. The visitors started much more brightly with more energy and greater intent when in possession. Despite wanting to start the match retaining possession and looking to build attacks down the flanks, the home side time and again gave the ball away cheaply and had to work very hard to get it back. Slazenger's were often overrun in midfield despite Aidan Hopkinson and Ste Robert's … [Read more...] about Report: 03-11-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (2) Lincoln 2nd’s
Report: 27-10-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (7) vs. (0) Brigg 4’s
Slaz mens 3's had no regular league fixture on Saturday, so played their Sunday cup fixture instead. Their opposition, Brigg 4's had been defeated in the league 7-0 already, so Slaz were hoping to equal their previous result. Brigg's recently laid pitch delivered quick ball movement, however, it also led to the ball bouncing and bobbling, making for fast, if slightly unpredictable behaviour. The first few minutes were evenly matched with both teams adjusting to the surface and finding … [Read more...] about Report: 27-10-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (7) vs. (0) Brigg 4’s
