Slazenger travelled away to Garforth 1st's, looking for another win on the back of the previous weeks' victory. However, its was not to be, as they fell to two last minute goals at the hands of the hosts. Slazenger started quickly, though with the obvious absence of Skipper Andy Fisher. Ste Roberts and Luke Gueli controlled the midfield well, and with some fluid passing Garforth were quickly under pressure. Frustratingly, Slaz continue to struggle with their finsihing and were unable to … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Mens 3rd’s (2) vs. (3) Garforth 1st’s

Slazenger 4's game against Airedale turned, rather surprisingly, into a fractious affair with several flash points throughout the game. The home team started brightly, fielding just the one adult outfield player at the start of the match and once again quickly got into their stride, passing the ball around, retaining possession reasonably well and creating several goalscoring chances, that with a little composure should have been converted into goals. Aidan Hopkinson and Tom Pitchforth … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Mens 4th’s (Dev) (2) vs. (0) Airedale 3rd’s
Report: 03-03-2012 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Driffield 1st’s
After the 3-3 draw last week Slaz were looking for a win and repeat of their 4-1 success in the Driffield away fixture earlier this season. Unfortunately due to players being unavailable/injured Slaz only had 11 players from their normal squad and were forced to rely on the goodwill of the 3rd team for the subs bench. Katie, Alex and Hannah are to be congratulated for performing admirably given the step up in the level of hockey they had to face. The home side again started strongly after … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Ladies 1st’s (3) vs. (3) Driffield 1st’s
Report: 03-03-2012 – Ladies 2nds (3) vs. (2) Bingley Bees 2nd’s
Slazenger Ladies 2nds continue to in their race to the top, after a close encounter away at Bingley Bees. The team overcame high temperatures and driving rain in addition to the official opposition, coming out 3-2 up. Slaz were quick to start, and applied some strong pressure to the home side. However, a fast break from the Bingley side gave them the advantage, with an opportunist goal. Slaz fought back, with Sue Hope bagging the equaliser. This was swiftly followed up by a further goal from … [Read more...] about Report: 03-03-2012 – Ladies 2nds (3) vs. (2) Bingley Bees 2nd’s
Report: 04-03-2012 – Boys U14’s Tournament at Harrogate
In my match report after our last trip to Harrogate in December, I noted that our next tournament was just 2 weeks away. How wrong could I be? With three successive cancelled tournaments, Slazenger travelled to Harrogate 3 months later with 16 boys including two boys on their first tournament; Elliot Golding & Lee Stringer. The only player missing was Jack Garside who was taken ill the day before. Prior to the tournament, we had arranged to loan players to Huddersfield and Bridlington. … [Read more...] about Report: 04-03-2012 – Boys U14’s Tournament at Harrogate
