Despite an injury-ridden squad, York Men's Hockey 1sts beat Boston Spa 4-1 to claim their first win of the season.
York suffered further defeat in their first weekend, suffering on the Saturday a 3-1 defeat away at Halifax, followed by an embarrassing 4-0 loss away to Sheffield Hallam.
Despite battling bravely, the York 1st XI fell victim to the superior quality and fitness of Sheffield Hallam 1s.
The men of the University of York Hockey Club are looking to repeat last year's success, both on and off the pitch.
