'A' Team Match Reports
Tadcaster Albion 0 – 0 Fulford
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom
A bitterly cold February morning saw Tadcaster entertain Fulford hoping to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
After the slightly lack luster performance last time out, Tadcaster knew they had plenty of room for improvement. The early signs were good as the midfield trio of Tom, Ethan and Jack quickly gained the upper hand. The Fulford defence was resolute however and snuffed out every half chance which came Tadcaster’s way. As the first half developed Fulford got themselves back into the game and what followed was an intriguing battle between two very evenly matched teams. The closest either team came to breaking the deadlock was a cracking long range effort from Tom which just cleared the cross bar.
The second half followed the pattern of the first half with both sides playing some neat football, but neither team seriously looking like scoring. Half chances came and went at either end; Alfie had to be brave to smother a Fulford attack and in the last couple of minutes Tadcaster pressed hard for the winner but just didn’t quite get the luck they needed.
Overall this was a massively improved display from Tadcaster. Great energy and determination from every single player.
Man of the Match: George – Had a storming game in defence.
2nd Game report
Tadcaster Albion 1 – 0 Fulford
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom
Scorers: Jack
Both sides fielded largely the same teams as in the first match and the result was another close game. Tadcaster had some good chances before the break, but some admirable scrambling defence from Fulford coupled with Tadcaster’s tendency to hang on to the ball a little bit too long saw the half end goal-less.
Thankfully, the second half did see a goal and to the delight of the home crowd it went to Tadcaster with Jack bundling the ball in from close range for what turned out to be the winner.
Man of the Match: Ethan – a tireless display in midfield.
