Slazenger Lades 1st's picked up their second win in as many weeks with a 4-1 win over Driffield 1st's. In a fast pace game, Slaz dominated play and added another 3 points to the North League Div 2 (East) campaign.

Report: 19-11-2011 – Mens 4’s Dev. (1) vs (0) York 10’s
It must have been the early start that was the reason for Slazenger's starting sluggishly against York in their latest development league fixture. Despite dominating possession the team never converted this dominance into goals. York were a young, well organised team with a pair of good central defenders who Slazengers struggled to get past. That said, Aidan Hopkinson never stopped working hard in midfield and Dave Smyth was always available to link play between midfield and attack. The first … [Read more...] about Report: 19-11-2011 – Mens 4’s Dev. (1) vs (0) York 10’s

Slazenger Men’s 2nd Team won at home 3-2 against a ten man Lincoln Roses 4th team. With Slaz beating Lincoln Roses 3rd team convincingly earlier in the season this looked like it was going to be an easy match for slaz, but it was quite the opposite. Lincoln seemed to be up for the match, Slaz looked sluggish and it showed from the start with Lincoln scoring. Slazenger keeper Giles Field saved the shot but with the sun in his eyes he didn’t see the ball fall and it trickled over the line. This … [Read more...] about Report: 19-11-2011 – Mens 2nd’s (3) vs. (2) Lincoln Roses 4th’s
