Poppleton 'v' Tad Albion U9s (28th Sept)

'A' Team Match Reports

1st Game report
Poppleton 3 - 2 Tadcaster Albion
Scorers: James K (2)
Team: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Harry, James K, Justin, Tom.
On another glorious sunny September morning Tadcaster made their first ever trip to Poppleton and produced a great performance against one of the strongest teams in the league.
Despite going a goal down early on, Tadcaster refused to panic and instead set about playing their way back into the match. Two unanswered goals from James gave Tadcaster the lead but they were soon pegged back again when Poppleton equalised just before half time.
The second half was no less exciting than the first with end to end play from both teams. It was a joy to watch all of the players enjoying themselves in a very evenly matched contest, and as chances came and went at both ends it looked like a draw was on the cards. In the end though, it was a cracking goal from Poppleton which settled things in the last minute.
Tadcaster didn't deserve to lose and will quite rightly be gutted. Overall, the improvement since the last match was huge. This was a great team performance and the willingness of the players to find space and to pass the ball to feet will hopefully provide proof that they can be a team to be reckoned with.
Man of the Match: Tom – great all round performance.

2nd Game report
Poppleton 2 - 1 Tadcaster Albion
Scorers: Alfie
Team: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Harry, James K, Justin, Tom.
Tadcaster were unchanged from the first game, although Harry and Justin both had stints in goal.
Once again, both teams contributed to a great match in which Poppleton scored a goal in each half only to be pegged back with a goal late on from Alfie. Tadcaster almost got the equaliser they deserved when Ethan unleashed a terrific free kick which looked goal bound, only for it to take a late deflection past the wrong side of the post.
Man of the Match: Charlie – great composure on the ball and also ran his socks off.
