Slazengers mens first eleven visited a very strong Hull second team on Saturday which consisted of a number of former national league players with hopes of causing an upset but were outclassed and out muscled by the opposition. It seemed as though the Slazengers players minds were fixed on the huge funfair at the side of the pitch rather than the game and they found themselves 4-0 down after barely 20 minutes. A change of formation and some strong words seemed to give Slazengers a bit of a … [Read more...] about Report: 10-10-2009 – Mens 1st’s (0) vs. (5) Kingston Upon Hull 2nd’s

With no league game this week, Slazengers mens first team played strong opposition in Leeds mens seconds in the yorkshire cup on Sunday and as is usual with Sunday games, other commitments meant Slazengers entered the game with a weakened side. Leeds were a stong outfit with no less than 4 substitutes but Slazengers were determined to give them a run for their money and certainly weren't about to lie down. The game started with Leeds holding a lot of possession but doing little with it, the back … [Read more...] about Report: 04-10-2009 – Mens 1st’s (0) vs. (3) Leeds 2nd’s

Slazengers mens first XI travelled to Driffield for their first league game of the campaign only to see the game descend into an almost farcical situation. Having travelled with only 11 players after a player had pulled out on Saturday morning, they soon found themselves down to 10 after Jonny White was injured in the first 5 minutes of the game. This was compounded by the fact that captain Will Buckley pulled a hamstring mid way through the first half leaving Slaz with only 9 fit players. This … [Read more...] about Report: 26-09-2009 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs (8) Driffield 1st’s

Slazengers men's first team completed their pre-season program with a hard fought but well deserved 5-4 victory away at Sheffield Hallam IV. Going into the game with a weakened team, Slazengers could have feared a big defeat, especially after going 2-0 down relatively early on but this seemed to inspire them to play their best hockey of the season so far. As the first half progressed, Slazengers controlled the possession well and began to create chances although seemed to be lacking the final … [Read more...] about Report: 19-09-2009 – Mens 1st’s (5) vs (4) Sheffield Hallam 4th’s

Slazengers mens first eleven continued their preperations for the new season with a tough game against a strong Chapletown team, eventually going down 2-1 although things could have been very different for Slazengers. The first half started with Slazengers taking the initiative, controlling the possession well and creating chances. The Chapletown keeper was called into action making a good save from a Ben Graham snapshot, and keeping out a number of short corners. The pressure eventually told … [Read more...] about Report: 12-09-2009 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs (2) Chapeltown 2nd’s
