Slazenger's 4's endured a tough, gruelling encounter with Rotherham 5's in their latest development league fixture. Both sides were evenly matched and despite playing some good passing hockey in the first 10 minutes it was the away side who dominated most of the first half. Slazengers battled well and were resolute in defence without really imposing themselves on the game. So it was against the run of play that they went into the half-time break 1-0 up. Matthew Stacey received the ball … [Read more...] about Report: 12-11-2011 – Mens 4th’s Dev. (2) vs (2) Rotherham 5th’s

However, if it had not been for a great performance from Lincolns back line and keeper, the result would have been far different. The game was lively … [Read more...] about Report: 05-11-2011 – Mens 3rd’s (1) vs. (3) Lincoln 3rd’s
