Slazenger collected a welcome three points in this hard fought North Hockey League East Division 2 Fixture. Slazenger started brightly, attacking their hosts from Lincoln down both wings and both Paul Wiper and Alec Gilston saw good shots saved.

SLAZENGER Boys U16;s continued to make good progress in the Yorkshire Youth League at the weekend. A tough first match against top side Rotherham ended 2-0 in the South Yorkshire side's favour, but the goals came late and Neil Hutchins and Eddie Richardson spearheaded an outstanding Slazenger defensive display.
