It may have been Valentine's day, but Slazenger have no love of playing at Stockton and for the third successive season came away empty handed. After a run of disappointing results, Slazenger lacked self-belief at the start of this North League East Division 2 clash. The lively Stockton forward line stretched the Horbury side's defence and after stealing the ball in midfield, they went one up inside ten minutes. Slazenger tried to rally with Mike Thornicroft prompting some good moves … [Read more...] about Report: 14-02-2004 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs (4) Stockton 1st’s

Slazenger went out in the first round of the Hockey Association Trophy on penalties, but could hold their heads up high after a fantastic comeback on Sunday. With several key players absent owing to injury, Slazenger struggled to contain Stockton's lively forward line in the first half and soon found themselves 3-0 down. By the start of the second half, Slazenger had come to terms with a difficult bumpy pitch and pulled a goal back through Richard Whawell from a penalty corner.

Slazenger looked a better side in the second … [Read more...] about Report: 12-10-2002 – Mens 1st’s (2) vs. (4) Stockton 1st’s

The second half was disappointing for Slazenger who struggled to contain the hosts' swift, incisive breaks. Man of the match Simon Chamberlain was outstanding in the visiting … [Read more...] about Report: 16-02-2002 – Mens 1st’s (1) vs. (4) Stockton 1st’s

Slazenger continued their impressive East Pennine League form with another outstanding home performance that got going from the very first minute and which included four cracking goals for the in-form Kevin Windler. A well-taken reverse stick strike from Mark Butel left the Stockton goalkeeper no chance and put the visitors firmly on the back foot. Slazenger never looked in trouble throughout the first half, absorbing the breakaways and then leaving forwards Butel and Windler to cause … [Read more...] about Report: 13-10-2001 – Mens 1st’s (5) vs. (1) Stockton 1st’s
