Warning! - Bogus Agents! - WRCFA Circular

Scam !

Young players, clubs and parents are advised about a scam that The FA has recently been made aware of.Persons purporting to be licensed agents are sending out spam emails promising trials with various clubs, using details from the list of licensed agents on the FIFA website, www.fifa.com. The clubs and the Agents whose names have been used have no knowledge of the potential 'trials'.The scam appears to work around promising trials to young players with various clubs and then asking for payment in advance to cover 'insurance and travel'. Once the money is sent, no more is heard.Anyone who is a victim of this scam should contact their local police.

Tad Albion U9s 'v' Rawcliffe (18th January)

'A' Team Match Reports

Rawcliffe 0 – 0 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Sam, Scott, Tom

A cold damp January morning saw Tadcaster travel to Rawcliffe hoping to build on last week’s draw with Bishopthorpe.
Tadcaster were slow out of the blocks as Rawcliffe took control of the early proceedings. Scott and George had their hands full at the back as the Rawcliffe midfield quickly gained the upper hand. Tadcaster, still rusty from the long lay off through November, December and early January just never got going. They were guilty of dwelling too long on the ball when they had possession and lost out on nearly all of the 50/50 balls in midfield. Having said that, credit must be given to Rawcliffe, who played extremely well - they passed the ball as well as any team Tadcaster have faced this season.
The second half followed the pattern of the first. Rawcliffe were well on top, but for all their domination in midfield, they rarely looked like scoring. In the end, a draw was probably a good result for Tadcaster.
Not quite the performance we were looking for, but there were plenty of positives to take from the game. Commitment was great as usual and between them Scott, George and Charlie managed to snuff of most of the danger. When he was needed Alfie showed great determination and bravery charging out to collect the ball.
Man of the Match: Alfie – Great concentration in goal. Did well when we needed him.

2nd Game report
Rawcliffe 0 – 0 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Louis, Scott, Tom

Tadcaster showed signs of improvement in the second game. As a whole the team displayed a lot more cohesion and a bit more determination to be first to the loose ball. Louis got himself into some good forward positions, as did Alfie, but neither could find the space against a very well organized Rawcliffe defence.
The second half saw Tom pushed up after his defensive stint and he nearly broke the deadlock towards the end of the match. Great work down the right hand side saw the ball fall to Tom on front of goal, but tired legs saw him blaze the ball just over the bar.
Man of the Match: Tom – Stood out for Tadcaster with a great effort for the team.

Malton 2-TAJFC 2 + Match Rearranged


TAJFC had an unsettled day at their away fixture against Old Malton. Playing on a VAST pitch the Lads were 2-0 up when Josh J took a shoulder barge from an opposing player that resulted in a movement from which Old Malton scored. Unfortunately the injury to Josh was quite severe and necessitated a trip to A&E. Shortly after this Joel B was the victim of a mistimed tackle and took a nasty knock to his hip. Briefly down to 10 men, a rattled TAJFC conceded a second goal.
Joel B was allowed back on the pitch and was promptly booked for dissent following an altercation with a Malton player.

Though the play throughout the game was a little "confused" it was an improvement on last week (just!). Our Goalie John kept us in the game - again - and was awarded Man of The Match for the second week running. The goals came from Joe Simon and one from Young George Brown - "come on down"!

STOP PRESS**
Next week's home game against Tadcaster Magnets has been re-arranged to Sunday 15th March. We have no match next Sunday - training as normal on Friday.

FINALLY**
Many thanks to all those who have bought tickets for the Valentine's Party. This fundraising event is crucial to the running of the Club in the period prior to the TAJFC Tournament. The expenses for running TAJFC have increased dramatically with the costs of running the 2 full size pitches at the Ings alone total £5,000+ excluding the cost of referees, kits or equipment.
I understand if this type of event might not appeal or it may be difficult or expensive to get babysitters or transport on the night. If you can't come or you think the event is not for you - could I respectfully request a small contribution towards the running of the club for the next couple of months. Cheques payable to TAJFC please. If your cheque or contribution exceeds £15 I will throw in a free ticket to the Valentine Party that you can gift to anyone aged over 21.
Details of the Valentine Party (including soundclips of the band playing that night) can be found at: http://tadvalentineparty.blogspot.com/
