'A' Team Match Reports
Tadcaster Albion 0 – 0 Poppleton
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Louis, Scott, Tom
Tadcaster entertained title hopefuls Poppleton on a breezy but mild February morning at Riverside School.
The home team lined up knowing that in order to get anything out of this game they would need a top performance; and that’s exactly what they delivered with a great overall display.
Right from the first whistle, Tadcaster were up for the contest and they battled and scrapped for the whole 30 minutes. The midfield trio of Ethan, Jack and James along with Tom up front put in their best overall display of the post-Christmas matches and in particular, there were definite signs of improvement when in possession. Although the execution wasn’t always great, the intent was there to try and pass the ball to players in better positions. If that continues to improve, the goals will come.
In summary, this was a terrific game between two closely matched teams and it’s a credit to the players that they have managed to hold their own against one of the strongest sides in the league. The stand-out performances once again were from George and Scott in defence who dealt with virtually Poppleton had to offer. A mention also for Alfie who, despite having very little to do for the most part, kept his concentration well to pull of two great saves.
Man of the Match: Scott
2nd Game report
Tadcaster Albion 0 – 3 Poppleton
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Louis, Scott, Tom
This was another really close game that was won by Poppleton with 3 goals in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Tadcaster had several good chances, particularly on the break, but the ball just didn’t roll kindly for them today and then ended goal-less.
