This match may have been a crowd-pleaser, but Slazenger were bitterly disappointed with this performance after recent signs of improvement. The Horbury side started brightly and after a series of lively attacks took the lead through Mike Thornicroft. However, Slazenger were unable to keep up the early momentum and their passing game fell apart. Gateshead took full advantage scoring twice in three minutes, both from penalty corners. Slazenger could not raise their game and the side … [Read more...] about Report: 15-11-2013 – Mens 1st’s (4) vs (7) Gateshead 1st’s

However, despite their pressure, Slazenger were unable to score and became increasingly vulnerable to Lincoln's swift counter-attacks. From one such break, Lincoln were awarded a penalty corner which they duly converted. Slazenger trailed 1-0 at … [Read more...] about Report: 08-11-2003 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs (1) Lincoln 1st’s

Slazenger were unlucky not to even at least a point from their nine-goal thriller against Sheffield in the North Hockey League Division 2 clash. Slazenger started disastrously and gifted their opponents two easy goals, but the Horbury side fought back showing that team spirit remains strong despite some recent disappointing results. Will Buckley tucked one in at a penalty corner and Alec Gilston finished off a free flowing move to carve the bankers defence wide open and when Mike … [Read more...] about Report: 01-11-2003 – Men 1st’s (4) vs. (5) Sheffield Uni Bankers 2nd’s
