Mens 4th XI

Report: 06-10-2012 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (1) City of York 8th’s

by

The men's 4's showed great composure and control, after going 1-0 down to bring the result back to a draw. Slaz played well and made some good passing moves in the midfield, showing marked improvement since the beginning of the season. It was York who score first, a pass picked up on the back stick and scored from a back stick flick; and infringement not spotted by the umpire. Slaz showed great grit and determination to continue pressing for the equaliser; and it was Darren Buttery, picking … [Read more...] about Report: 06-10-2012 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (1) City of York 8th’s

Report: 29-09-2012 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (3) Boston Spa 4th’s

by

Slazenger's mens 4th's played their first ever league fixture this weekend against Boston Spa 4th's. The team played well but were beaten by the combination of experience and teamwork; signs of a well established team. The game started promisingly for Slazenger. Fast and consistent passing made short work of the Boston Spa midfield, and very quickly the home side were pressing Boston's defence. It was not long before a sequence of fast passes set up Ian Hedges to take it past the last … [Read more...] about Report: 29-09-2012 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (3) Boston Spa 4th’s

Report: 01-10-2005 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (1) Bradford 3rd’s

by

Slazenger 4ths are a much-changed team this season, but the blend of youth and experience worked well against a strong Bradford side. Two well-matched teams played some good, open hockey and Slazenger passed the ball well from the start with youngsters Phil Midgley and Alex McCann unfortunate not to score from some of their early efforts. But it was Bradford who opened up the scoring when the home side failed to move the ball effectively from their own 16-yard hit. Slazenger came back … [Read more...] about Report: 01-10-2005 – Mens 4th’s (1) vs. (1) Bradford 3rd’s

Report: 23-11-2002 – Mens 4th’s (4) vs (2) Sheff. Hallam 6th’s

by

Slazenger were on the back-foot in Sheffield early doors but they found their feet to shuffle to a 4-2 victory in the Steel City. They went behind as early as the 10th minute but owing to some excellent defensive work from man of the match Chris Rodgers, Tony Walker and the Whawell twins, Slazenger survived to half time without conceding further goals. They reorganised their midfield in the second half and matched Sheffield in this department. And with more ball Slazenger's forwards looked … [Read more...] about Report: 23-11-2002 – Mens 4th’s (4) vs (2) Sheff. Hallam 6th’s
