TAJFC 5 - Copmanthorpe 2 (Under 11's)

TAJFC had a slight return to form on Sunday 16th with a shaky but nonetheless victorious performance. I am sure that the scoreline looks convincing enough, but given the chances Tadcaster had the score should have been 10-0.

Goals came from Joe Simon (2), Harry Hardy (1 -penalty) and Joel Brown (2). Despite this being a good team effort there were some players who had a higher work rate; notably Matty Orr, Adam Brammar and Man of The Match - Joseph "M.D." Simon.

Mick has vowed to "up the ante" during our fitness training on Friday so don't have any fizzy drinks in the preceeding 24 hours. Joking apart we have been very pleased with the response to this type of training.

Mick & I put up the nets and corner flags........(it's nice to be able to chat without fear of interruption) with an offer of assistance coming from the parent who lives furthest from the venue(Mr Cheetham!). Thanks to all of the people who helped us pack up and thanks to Mark & Cath Jackson who prepare the drinks every week; a little more help prior to the game would be appreciated. For those of you with SatNav in your Volkswagen the postcode is LS24 9AY. There were an array of items left behind which we will bring to training on Friday. Only a couple of games left until Christmas and we are joint-top on points with some team called Osbaldwick. Let's go into the Christmas break in the best possible position!

Cub/Scouts - Potential Match Clash 14th December 2008

John Swift has alerted me to a potential clash between a Cub/Scout event and matches for the Under 10's and Under 11's.

The Scouts are going to "Wet & Wild" in North Shields on Sunday 14th December and the trip will last from 9:00am to 6:00pm. On the same day, TAJFC Under 11's are due to meet Pickering Town (away), TABlues Under 11's are due to play Huntington at home and TAJFC Under 10's have a fixture with Pocklington (away).

Speaking for the TAJFC Under 11's, it seems likely that quite a lot of our team will be at 'Wet & Wild' so we may have to postpone.

Could you please get in touch with your respective managers/admin to confirm whether you will be available to play or not - we need to give notice (and a good reason) to the League - please don't leave it to chance and get in touch as soon as possible. Apologies if Cubs are not involved.
