Slazenger would have taken a point at the start of the match against high-flying York, but were ultimately dissapointed having let a three-goal lead slip away. The Horbury side began this North League East Division 2 fixture the stronger with Jonny White and Mark Swinden establishing an early grip in midfield. It was no surprise then when they opened the scoring inside the first five minutes, from a well worked penalty corner, converted by Richard Whawell. Slazenger continued to play … [Read more...] about Report: 21-02-2004 – Mens 1st’s (3) vs (3) York 2nd’s

Depleted Slazenger also lacked sufficient quality to stifle North East Pennine League Division 2 rivals York.Gritty defending through the first half kept the scores level. Paul Wiper and man of the match Warren Sheppard provided positive midfield play, but the side lacked penetrative flair up front. Outstanding goalkeeping from Dave Hellam denied York until five minutes from time when the Minster men struck twice in quick successions. … [Read more...] about Report: 26-01-2002 – Mens 1st’s (0) vs. (2) York 2nd’s
