Once again, Slazenger’s seconds were left disappointed after a poor performance going down 2-1 away to Halifax seconds. A result that leaves them rooted firmly to the bottom of the table. The story of the season continued with Slazenger’s playing some great hockey but then letting themselves down with individual errors and a lack of ability to dig deep when needed. The game started with Slazenger’s playing some good hockey but found themselves caught out midway through the first half going a … [Read more...] about Report: 23-10-2004 – Mens 2nd’s (1) vs (2) Halifax 2nd’s

Slazenger moved into second place in North Hockey League Division 2 East after this crushing defeat of lowly Marton Furness. Slazenger’s hero was Mike Thornicroft who grabbed a well-deserved second-half hat-trick. It would be easy to say this was a game of two halves as the score line was goalless at half-time. However, this does not tell the true story. Slazenger had almost total dominance of possession in the first period but found it difficult to break through some stubborn and aggressive … [Read more...] about Report: 23-10-2004 – Mens 1st’s (6) vs. (1) Marton Furness 1st’s

Slazenger U10 Girls teams' season got off to a steady start against York with a 0-0 draw; a fair result for a side with several new players including Emily Barnett, Catreena Ferguson and Elinor Jackson. In the next match, they were on the wrong end of a 4-0 defeat to an experienced Wakefield side. Slaz' cause was not helped by the loss of defender Hannah Barnett who had to leave the field with a hand injury. Their third match against Leeds also finished 0-0 but there were signs the team is … [Read more...] about Report: 17-10-2004 – Girls U10’s
Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 1st’s (6) vs. (2) York 2nd’s
Previous encounters between these two teams have always been close, but this time Slazenger ran out easy winners. It was not clear what was to come later as previously unbeaten York applied early pressure in this North Division 2 East fixture. However, a combination of tight marking and some excellent saves from James Cowden kept the home side at bay. There were also early signs that the Horbury side were capable of catching York on the break. They took the lead from one such attack. … [Read more...] about Report: 16-10-2004 – Mens 1st’s (6) vs. (2) York 2nd’s
