Match Report
Despite having most of the possession, Slaz ladies 4s went down 2-0 early in the game, both goals coming against the run of play. Julie, May and Toni worked tirelessly in midfield to create chances and work the ball up the pitch. Just before half time Julie got the ball through to Gemma in space at the top of the D, who put it in the bottom corner to get a goal back.
The defence were working well together, with Poppy, Lorna, Emily, Catreena and Michelle marking tightly. Although on occasions Tracy found herself having to come out to an extra player and close balls down at the top of the D.
Coming out in the 2nd half, Slaz lost a bit of composure and Huddersfield Dragons took full advantage.
Mandy, Gemma and Kirsty kept closing down the Dragons 16s but were unable to create any more meaningful opportunities.

Match Report
The Ladies 4’s were away against Huddersfield Dragon’s this weekend. Despite having the majority of possession in the first half Slazenger were unable to convert opportunities, unfortunately Huddersfield Dragons did not have the same problem and went into the second half already 3-0 up.
An early rebound in the 2nd half slotted away by Becky Wade gave Slazenger a glimmer of hope, but a further goal from Huddersfield Dragons with only 10 minutes left to play was too big of an ask. Special mention to Tori in goal who was playing her first senior hockey match.

Match Report
After a succesful 'Back to Hockey' campaign over the summer Slazenger's 4th ladies team travelled to Huddersfield with 5 of their new players. It was a great team effort the first half and Slazenger were unlucky to concede a goal. In the second half both Claudia Barber and Megan Bird played some excellent hockey but fatigue set in and the young Dragons team were able to score twice more. Emma Elsey played an amazing first game in a Slazenger shirt and got the well deserved Player of the Match vote.
