TAJFC Under 11's - Top of The League


Tadcaster Albion Blues U11's

Tadcaster Albion Blues vs Rawcliffe Warriors


After a disappointing start to our season last week with our first game being cancelled our newly formed team both eager and nervous about our first game on a full size pitch and with goals that seemed like the size of a small house to our lads .Our starting squad were ,CAPTAIN Jonathon white , Jay Devine, Danny Sykes , Luke Buchanan, Jacob Linley , Jacob Daniels, Eddie Fothergill, Matty jewitt, and our debut game for our 4 new signings Josh Simpson-dale, David Armitage, Daniel Downes and Joseph Furness.This week we were missing Stephen Macheta who will hopefully be back with us next week .
After Nick had finished swinging along the top off the cross like a monkey looking something like Kevin Keegan just to put the nets on , the season could begin .
The game began and we set out to a bit of a tentative start and coincided an early goal an excellent goal from Rawcliffe entering the goals just under the cross bar Jay didn't stand a chance .This didn't deter the team and they kept there heads up and play improved as they found their pace and settled in to their new sized pitch .They played some exciting passing football .Both Jacob L and Jonathon both having great outside runs it was from one of these our first goal came from our captain Jonathon followed shortly afterwards by one from Jacob L this was a perfect goal just chipping the the keeper .By half time the score was 3-2 to them . I think at this point the size off the pitch was starting to take its toll on some of our players .Danny Sykes had a fantastic start to the season playing right back and coming back and playing his usual strong game ,he was joined by David Armitage who certainly made his presence felt out on the pitch. Joseph Furness contributed well to the match by having a few good shots on goal he fitted in well in the team as today was the first time he had meet some of our boys .The second half of the game saw another 2 goals 1 from Lukes ever strong left foot and another from Jonathan. unfortunately Rawcliffe also scored a further 4 goals leaving the score 7-4 to Rawcliffe. It was a tough fought game and at some points looked like it could of gone either way it s always good to get the first match of the season out of the way and with as many changes as we have i think all the boys should be very proud of themselves . Today gave us plenty of things to learn and improve on for our next game on Sunday . WELL DONE BOYS . see you all at training .
man of the match this week went to David Armitage

TAJFC 13 - Poppleton 1 (U11's)



















Excellent win for Tadcaster Albion Under 11's. Great all-round performances from the squad, on only their second outing together. New signings Josh McCarthy, Matty Orr, Adam Brammar and Joe Simon are really finding their feet and making some great new friends.

As 'Our Mick' was refereeing it was up to 'Director of Football' Nick Brown to offer up some words of encouragement. Great linking play led to 3 goals from Paul Hick, 3 goals from Josh Jackson, first goal of the season from our second-half substitute Ollie Ward and 6 (yes 6!!) from Joel Brown who was awarded 'Man of The Match' by Mick. Tadcaster Albion JFC have gained maximum points so far this season, but will find the competition a bit stiffer away at Norwich Union and Tadcaster Magnets in the next couple of weeks. Man of The Match for last week's game against Pickering was the unstoppable Harry Hardy. Still one or two subs outstanding - please make your cheques for £20 payable to TAJFC and pass them on to Nick Brown as soon as possible - thanks to all of those who have paid already. See you at training on Friday 20th at 6:00pm.
