'A' Team Match Reports
Companthorpe 1 – 1 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Ethan, George, Jack, James K, James O, Sam, Scott, Tom
Scorers: Tom
Tadcaster travelled to Companthorpe on a glorious April morning for their final league fixture of the season, knowing that a win or a draw would see the team climb up to mid table whereas a loss would condemn them to a bottom two finish.
Tadcaster rounded off the season with a terrific performance and came within a couple of minutes of winning a very closely fought game. Despite not having played for a month, Tadcaster got off to a great start winning the early battles for possession and stringing together some lovely passing exchanges. Cop’ fought back though and once or twice Tadcaster rode their luck as they were outnumbered at the back. Taddy were the first to score as Tom bravely got his head onto a wicked corner from James and it was no less than they deserved.
The second half was more of the same - total commitment from both teams, with some really entertaining football throughout. Copmanthorpe occasionally looked dangerous but without creating any clear cut chances .. until they brought on their super sub. He was about 2 foot 6 tall and looked about 5, but he broke out hearts as he hooked the ball in to level the match in the dying minutes.
Man of the Match: Tom.
2nd Game report
Companthorpe 4 – 0 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Ethan, George, Jack, James K, James O, Sam, Scott, Tom
A much more relaxed atmosphere to the second fixture and one or two real comedy moments – including deputy goal keeper Ethan heading the ball into his own net.
Copmanthorpe ran out convincing winners, but throughout the game, the Tadcaster team all played with a smile on their faces – none more so that Sam who took away the man of the match trophy for his efforts.
Man of the Match: Sam.

A draw was enough to lift Taddy up to 5th place, whilst Copmanthorpe’s point was enough to give them 3rd place. Final league table here.
Terrific effort again from the whole team with Scott and George outstanding at the back and in goal Alfie proved once again how valuable he is to the team. The performance of the day though was from Tom who won countless tackles as well scoring the Taddy goal. Man of the Match: Tom.
