Slazenger Seconds were in commanding form in their Yorkshire League Division 4 encounter with Hull thirds and the three points from their 3-1 win lifted them further up the table.

Alec Gilston opened the scoring for Slazenger and Ben Graham added a second before half time. The midfield of Graham, Ashley Smith and Johnny White was dominant, running the game and putting lots of pressure on their East Coast counterparts.

When Hull did threaten, Bob Wood was in commanding form as sweeper, frustrating Hull's attacks and leading the Slazenger counter-attacks. An unsavoury incident in the second half resulted in the dismissal of Hull's centre-half and a yellow card for the Slazenger goalkeeper. Lawrence Thornton donned the pads and helmet and was immediately called to make a save from a short corner. Ben Graham scored his second to put Slazenger 3-0 up and Hull grabbed a consolation with the last hit of the match.

On Saturday, Slazenger seconds travel to Bradford, 1:15pm start.
