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

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)

With some strong pressure, it was only a matter of time until the team forced an opening they could exploit. James (moog) walker … [Read more...] about Report: 10-11-2012 – Mens 4th’s (4) vs. (0) City of York 9th’s
