It was another frustrating game for Slazenger Ladies 4′s away at Rotherham on Saturday. After having a few rough weeks, they went in positive and were hopeful to get a good result. Slazenger’s had a good start and soon had some good attacking opportunities with centre forward Jose Hughes making great runs and working well with the midfield. However, as the half went on Rotherham’s confidence grew and Slazenger’s defence was made to work hard, eventually Rotherham managed to score on 32 … [Read more...] about Report: 19-10-2013 – Ladies 4th’s (0) vs. (10) Rotherham 4th’s

When Slazenger Development team took to the pitch this week they were looking forward to a third win against their Yorkshire rivals, Rotherham. However, hockey is never that simple.

The men's 1st team match was an ill tempered game. However, the game started well and didn't resemble the debacle that followed.

The 2nd half saw Slazengers move up a gear and a great run down the right and an excellent cross from George … [Read more...] about Report: 01-12-2012 – Mens 5th’s (2) vs. (1) Rotherham 4th’s
