Slazengers shrugged off a poor first-half to take the spoils against Hallam. After a goalless and dour first-half, Slaz came out fighting and it wasn't long before the stale-mate was broken courtesy of an outstanding goal from James Swindon. Minutes later, Swindon teared through to bag his second, with Slaz's defence managing to hold out Hallam at the other end, thanks mainly to the heroics of Bob Wood. … [Read more...] about Report: 21-10-2000 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs. (0) Sheffield Hallam

Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 4th’s (2) vs (5) Lincoln 3rd’s
Slazenger fourths conceded four goals in the first 20 minutes of their encounter with Lincoln thirds and never really recovered from the set-back. They lost 5-2. Dave Smyth pulled back the first just before half-time and Rob Stevens scored the goal that effectively saw Slazenger 'draw' the second half Richard Baker and Stevens produced some good runs in the second half. … [Read more...] about Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 4th’s (2) vs (5) Lincoln 3rd’s
Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs (2) West Yorkshire Police
Slazenger thirds lost out by an odd goal in three in an extremely competitive and even contest with West Yorkshire Police. The Police squad's physical power proved too much for Slazenger in the end after Slazenger had come back to equalise from a goal down through Richard Whawell. Slazenger man of the match was youngster Paul Johnson. … [Read more...] about Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs (2) West Yorkshire Police
Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs (2) Sheffield Bankers
Slazenger seconds gained a hard-earned point from a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Bankers. James Swinden and Andrew Birkett worked a neat one-two fir the latter to chip the goalkeeper for the opening goal. Slazenger came back strongly but Slazenger dug in and then made the most of a defensive slip, Jonny White slotting home coolly. After the break, the home side continued to dominate possession and eventually pulled a goal back and equalised in two crazy minutes though the second was scored … [Read more...] about Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 2nd’s (2) vs (2) Sheffield Bankers
Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 1st’s (3) vs. (2) Bradford 1st’s
Slazenger secured three vital Yorkshire League 1 points with a reasonably solid performance against Bradford. Slazenger took an early lead in the first half with a well-taken goal from Butel. But although the home side looked the stronger team, they were unable to capitalise on their chances and failed to add to their tall before the break. Slazenger put Bradford under increased pressure in the second half and doubled their tally through Chamberlain. Despite some good goalkeeping … [Read more...] about Report: 14-10-2000 – Mens 1st’s (3) vs. (2) Bradford 1st’s
