After going down 2-0 by half time with another new and young team, Slazengers fought back courageously to nearly get a goal or two back in the second half against a very skillful Bradford team. Great work by the team with Jack Lee and Will Feally working hard and running hard to create chances and close the opposition down. Man of the Match Dan Cass was making his presence felt and Harry Buttery in goal pulled off a great performance. However Bradford scored again the second half to make … [Read more...] about Report: 05-12-2015 – Mens 5th’s (0) vs. (3) Bradford 5th’s

Another fantastic team performance by Slazengers Mens Development team as they travelled to Sheffield Hallam who were second in the league.

Report: 14-09-2013 – Mens 5th’s (2) vs. (4) City of York 10th’s
Some great debutante performances but the Gunning brothers nab a goal each in a well matched contest. On a bright sunny September Saturday Slazenger’s development team travelled to Huntingdon School to play York. The team was a scratch team with Joshua Swallow and Nick Caldersley making their debut to senior hockey. Looking at the York team there would be a hill to climb as they had boys aged 15 -16 in their junior part of the team. Undeterred Harry Buttery in goal and a back three … [Read more...] about Report: 14-09-2013 – Mens 5th’s (2) vs. (4) City of York 10th’s
Report: 05-01-2013 – Mens 5th’s (3) vs. (2) Doncaster 7th’s
A slow after Christmas start for the Slazenger’s fifth team saw a dismal first half with a competent Doncaster team who ran rings around both young and old players. Within 5 minutes Doncaster had scored with some fine wing movement and neat triangular passes. Slaz with possibly too much Xmas pudding still in them looked lacklustre and seemed unable to track or mark any of the Doncaster players. Slaz spent another 15 frustrating minutes unable to clear their own half and get the ball to the … [Read more...] about Report: 05-01-2013 – Mens 5th’s (3) vs. (2) Doncaster 7th’s
Report: 17-11-2012 – Mens 5th’s (2) vs. (2) Doncaster 7th’s
An early evening match for the Slazenger 5ths saw the floodlights light up the Horbury sky as they battled against Doncaster. The back four of Dave Smith, Danny Croxall, Matthew Chilton and Adam Drake held the line well protecting Harry Buttery in goal. They were tested throughout the first half with penetrating runs from the wings and through the centre, however Danny Croxall was tenacious and recovered the ball several times when the Slaz team were dispossessed. Geoff Birkett and Harry … [Read more...] about Report: 17-11-2012 – Mens 5th’s (2) vs. (2) Doncaster 7th’s
