U11 New Year Training & Matches 2009

Training re-starts on Friday 2nd January 2009 at Tadcaster Leisure Centre 5:50pm - 7pm for TAJFC and TAB. Subs are due (some have already paid me, thanks) - I'll have a list of amounts due on Friday.





TAJFC players have generally been paying in advance and we have almost had a 100% turnout every week (again-thank you!) We have to 'block book' the Sports Hall so Tadcaster Albion Blues need to pay Nick Devine £4 (plus any previous amounts owed) at the Blues match on Sunday 4th January.

Here are the fixtures until the end of year:

4th Jan - Popp Lions vs TAJFC /TAB vs Rawcliffe

11th Jan - TAJFC vs Norwich Union/ Thorpe vs TAB

As you can see it's a packed programme! - We did our very best to accommodate clashes with Scouts and School in 2008 - Could I respectfully request that TAJFC/TABlues are given priority (as much as possible) as we go into the final part of the season. TAJFC have a real possibility of being Division Champions this year which would be a massive achievement for a club whose "player pool" has been split and is consequently fielding two Under 11's Teams. I've already been notified of a Scout activity on 3rd/4th January - if this effects you could you please email me as soon as possible on nickbrown@btinternet.com or ring on 07778 993896. It's too late for us to postpone the Poppleton game on the 4th Jan so we will have to play it regardless of numbers - we just need to know so that we can plan accordingly.

As always, if you have any constructive feedback - please feel free to get in touch at anytime via the details above.

Finally, tickets to the Valentine's Party (Adults) are selling rapidly - I'll be bringing tickets with me to Training on Friday. It's a fundraiser for Junior Football and an excuse to let your hair down (not you Mick!) Full details are here: http://tadcasteralbionjuniors.blogspot.com/2008/12/annual-valentine-party-adults.html

Christmas & New Year Message

Message from TAJFC Secretary Keith Sawden.

"This year has been my 1st as Secretary of the Juniors, we have seen some excellent results across the
age groups, and many of our teams are top of their respective leagues, a proud position to be in at
the end of 2008. Let’s hope this can continue throughout 2009. Our Club is run by enthusiastic
volunteers giving up much of their valuable time, but we wouldn’t have a Junior section if it wasn’t
for the boys and girls who play their hearts out every week, supported by an ever faithful band of
supportive parents who stand in all weather cheering for their sons and daughters. As we go into
another year I would like to thank everyone for their effort, support and contribution during the past
year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone." - Keith Sawden

This event should be a welcome break for all of the 'black-tie' and formal events you have been to over the Christmas period! It's going to be a BIG EVENT with live music, dancing, food, more dancing and the possibilty of a few drinks through the course of the evening. We have booked both floors of the Riley Smith Hall with a quality buffet being served over a 2 hour period. Anybody who is anyone will be there and places are going fast. You can email me (nickbrown@btinternet.com) or Sharon (sharon_conway@uk.ibm.com) to reserve your place.

TAJFC Girls U15 vs Pocklington

"TADCASTER ALBION U15 GIRLS fought out a tough-tackling 0-0 draw away at POCKLINGTON TOWN in the freezing fog. Chances were few and far between with Beth Shindler and Fran Coldwell coming closest for Taddy. At the other end, Taddy's player of the day, Kathryn Clow, pulled off a brilliant late save to deny the home side and maintain Taddy's second place in York League South Division."
