Slazenger were unlucky not to even at least a point from their nine-goal thriller against Sheffield in the North Hockey League Division 2 clash. Slazenger started disastrously and gifted their opponents two easy goals, but the Horbury side fought back showing that team spirit remains strong despite some recent disappointing results.
