Report: 16-09-2000 – Mens 1st’s (5) vs. (0) Bradford 1st’s
Slazenger got off to a great start, with their enterprising play too much for Bradford. Slaz were wheezing the ball rounf the back of the Bradford defence continually and creating quick chances up the wing from the off and they went into an early 8th minute lead when Alec Colston netted. Fluent play led to another three goal for the Slaz goal-machine, in what was a truly uplifted display and super start to the season. A fifth goal was added by Richard Tuddenham after good left wing play … [Read more...] about Report: 16-09-2000 – Mens 1st’s (5) vs. (0) Bradford 1st’s
