Birkett goes aeriel and Gunning goes for goal! A tied affair between two evenly balanced teams produced a well earned goal a piece after 80 minutes of fast and furious hockey in Worksop. The first half saw a bolstered side for Slaz with Tony Walker, Alan Perry and Chris Hopkinson all standing in for injured or unavailable players. A reunited front two of Peter Gunning and George Fealy saw little of the ball in the first half as a talented number 4 for Worksop ran the play in midfield, in a … [Read more...] about Report: 29-09-2012 – Mens 5th’s (1) vs. (1) Worksop 3rd’s

Aidan Hopkinson, Tom Pitchforth and Geoff Birkett worked hard to create the space in midfield to enable the team to push forward and attack.

The home team started brightly, fielding just the one adult outfield player at the start of the match and once again quickly got into their stride, passing the ball around, retaining possession reasonably well and creating several goalscoring chances, that with a little composure should have been converted into goals. Aidan Hopkinson and Tom Pitchforth … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Mens 4th’s (Dev) (2) vs. (0) Airedale 3rd’s
