1st Game report
The Yellow team lined up for the first game with Alfie in goal; Emily and Joseph defence; James and Megan in midfield; Harry up front.
Tadcaster kicked off the competitive league in style with a convincing win. In difficult, muddy conditions, Albion applied pressure from the off and were quickly two goals up, both goals coming from Harry (the second one was the goal of the match). Further first half goals from Megan along with a couple for James meant Tadcaster were virtually home and dry by half time. Half time score: Hamilton Panthers 0, Tadcaster 5.
Daniel and Declan came on for the second half, replacing Emily and Megan. Tadcaster continued their solid display with both Daniel and Declan getting in some early tackles. Harry was the first to complete his hat-trick and James soon followed. The scoring was completed when one of the Panther’s defenders unluckily sliced the ball into his own net from a Tadcaster corner. Final score: Hamilton Panthers 0, Tadcaster Albion 8.
Overall, this was a strong, solid display.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Megan in goal; Daniel and Emily in defence; James and Declan in midfield; Alfie up front.
Goals from James and Alfie gave Tadcaster a 2-0 half time lead and despite and early second half goal from Hamilton, Tadcaster held out for a great win. Final score: Hamilton Panthers 1, Tadcaster Albion 2.
The team had been switched around for the second game with some of the stronger Tadcaster players getting a rest. The effort throughout this match proved what a great squad the yellow team are. Joseph is really starting to look confident with the ball; Daniel played his best match of the season and Declan had a great first match.
Man of the Match: Daniel – some good defensive positioning and strong tackling. Keep up the good work. Well done Dan !
