Under 10's (B-Team) Match Reports - January 2008
6th January 2008
Tadcaster Magnets 2 - Tadcaster Albion 0 (B-Team)
A fantastic start back after the Christmas break . Even though the score does not represent fully the superb football played by the B team against the league leaders . We held our own with all the team working together to really make them fight for the goals our defence was a force to reckoned with Harry J and Eddie F performing to their usual high standards . The 1st goal came from an amazing header straight into the top right hand corner and the 2nd being an unlucky deflection . Danny did a fantastic job of man marking a player much bigger than him and prevented him from scoring on a couple of occasions . The strikers fought hard to score but unfortunately it wasn't to be our day . Everyone walked away with their heads held high at an outstanding performance .
Man of the Match (1st game) The Whole Team .
Man of the Match 2nd game Harry J.
13th January 2008.
Tadcaster Albion 0 - Osbaldwick 2 (B-Team)
An under par performance for us this week . This was yet again another tough match against the second in the league. We, unfortunately, lost to the better team on the day . We showed moments of our usual standard with Danny S and Eddie F battling hard for some of the match . Becks was (as always) reliable and thinking about her position making sure she was in place to score if the ball reached her.
Man of the Match (1st game) Eddie F.
Man of the Match (2nd game) Danny S.
20th January 2008.
Brooklyn 0 - Tadcaster Albion 1(B-Team)
A much better performance and back to our winning ways . This again was to be a difficult match played on a pitch with a certain slope . The defence held firm with solid performances from Eddie, Harry, James. Jay pulled off some solid saves to keep Brooklyn's strikers from scoring . With Jacob L making a run and scoring the only goal of the match he earned himself Man of the Match. The second game had players changing positions completely, with Harry J and Jonathan W both taking turns in goal and doing a very good job and Jay playing striker and scoring the winning goal to finish off what Matty J and Jacob L had started . This left the full time score 2 -3. Luke earned himself Man of the Match for the second game for his solid performance in left wing displaying strength and good ball control .
Man of the Match (1st game) Jacob L.
Man of the Match (2nd game) Luke .

Tadcaster Albion 2 - Pickering 1(B-Team)
This was always going to be a game of two halves, with the wind playing a major part. Pickering won the toss and decided to play with the wind at their backs in the first half and it was no surprise when they went a goal up. Tadcaster Albion B Team soon rallied in the second half to bring it back to a draw with a well taken goal from Jacob L, soon followed up by a second goal from Jacob D with a great strike. Stephen played to his usual standard covering most of the pitch with his tireless legs . Jonathan was again an important part of the team and moved into Beck's spot on t and managed to play her position with pride (hope your feeling better Becks!). Harry J, Matthew A and Eddie F all showed their usual skill and great team spirit. Many thanks to Graham for his usual high standard of refereeing.

Leeds Utd Name McAllister as New Boss
Our contacts within Leeds Utd were obviously on the right track.........!
Leeds have appointed former player Gary McAllister as their new manager after Dennis Wise's move to Newcastle.
Ex-Scotland midfielder McAllister, 43, who played for Leeds from 1990 to 1996, has joined initially until the summer.
He also played for Leicester, Liverpool and Coventry, whom he managed for 18 months before leaving to care for wife Denise, who died of cancer in 2006.
McAllister, who won 57 caps, was in the frame for the Scotland job before Alex McLeish was appointed in 2007.
However, he pulled out of the running to succeed McLeish early on and George Burley got the job earlier this month.
Wise left the club on Tuesday after 15 months in charge, while assistant Dave Bassett has also departed.

A Team v B Team (Under 10's) - February 10th 2008

It will take place at the Ings (subject to pitches) with chips & sausages to follow (subject to clubhouse drying out). Nick Devine will be rotating the teams so that everyone gets a chance to play against everyone else. These matches should put us in good stead for the final 5 league games we have between now and the end of the season.

Dennis Wise Leaves Leeds Utd!
.jpg)
.jpg)
Leeds Utd's Manager sensationally quit the League One title contenders today and we had our roving reporters at Leeds Utd's Thorpe Arch Academy within minutes of the announcement. The mood was bouyant with a few names being whispered in the corridors of Yorkshire's Number One Football Club, including Gary McAllister (popular), Sam Allardyce (unlikely), Jose Murihno (very unlikely), Vinny Jones (!!) and Steve McClaren (we can lend him a brolly).

Tad Albion U8s ‘v’ Fulford (27th Jan)
U8 Yellow Team Match Report
1st Game report
Tadcaster Albion 2 – 1 Fulford
Scorers: Harry, James
Tadcaster lined up for the first game with Alfie in goal; Joseph and Emily in defence; James and Megan; Harry up front.
Tadcaster were caught napping at the start, conceding a very early goal. Thankfully, they responded immediately and set about getting themselves back in the game, and by the end of the match, every single player had played their part in this fantastic team effort. Joseph and Emily at the back, along with Megan in midfield tackled and battled for everything, whilst James and Harry had some neat passing interchanges up front. Harry played his best game for some weeks and having been denied a couple of times, his determination to get a goal was rewarded when he fired in a fantastic low shot across the Fulford goalkeeper to level the scores. Half Time score Tadcaster 1, Fulford 1.
Sam and Daniel came on for Emily and Megan. Another fantastic 10 minutes saw Tadcaster continue where they left off in the first half. Dan continued his improvement with some brave tackling and Sam did well, but
the hero for Tad again was Alfie in goal, especially his ‘save of the season’ – full length to tip the ball round the post. Chances came and went and a draw might have been seen as a fair result, but this team never gives up and in the last minute James ran at the Fulford defence and saw his left foot shot half saved by the Fulford ‘keeper, hit the cross bar and then spin backwards into the goal to seal the win for Tadcaster. ‘Lucky’ was the response from the Fulford touchline, but it was luck Tadcaster deserved for their determination and for never giving up.
2nd Game report
Tadcaster Albion 1 – 3 Fulford
Scorers: Alfie
The line up for the friendly game was Harry in goal, Emily and Daniel in defence; James, Sam and Joseph in midfield; Alfie up front.
Again Tadcaster conceded an early goal, but battled their way back into the game when Alfie smashed the ball high into the Fulford goal. Half time score Tadcaster 1, Fulford 1.
Megan took the ‘keepers jersey for the second half and Tadcaster were in contention until late in the match when two quick goals settled the match for Fulford.
Man of the Match: This was a fantastic team effort and any one of the players could have won the award. It goes to Joseph this week though, who continues to improve quickly both in defence and in midfield. Well done Joseph !

Flashback - Summer 2006 - Otley Tournament!
Here's a blast from the past............ In the summer of 2006 Tadcaster Riverside Albion entered the famous Otley Tournament for the first time - and won!
It was a blistering hot day - just after England's exit from The World Cup - the teams played magnificently and one of our lads was scouted for Leeds Utd (and still attends Thorpe Arch Academy 2 years later).
Here's a short tongue-in-cheek video of the day:-

Tad Albion U8's v Heworth 13th Jan 2008
U8’s Tadcaster Riverside Albion ‘v’ Heworth
Yellow Team Match Report
1st Game: Tadcaster Albion 2 – 3 Heworth
Goal Scorers: Harry, James
2nd Game: Tadcaster Albion 3 – 6 Heworth
Goal Scorers: o.g. (2), James
1st Game report
Tadcaster lined up for the first game with Alfie in goal; Daniel and Joseph in defence; Sam and Megan in midfield; Harry up front.
Tadcaster were caught cold at the start of this game by a very strong Heworth side, conceding 2 early goals. A lack of concentration in their own penalty area was the cause of both goals. There was little to cheer for the home crowd as Tadcaster struggled to get out their own half. Megan had to go off towards the end of the half to be replaced by James, but another goal conceded left the home side with a mountain to climb in the second half. Half Time score: Tadcaster 0, Heworth 3.
Megan and Emily replaced Daniel and Sam for the second half. Tadcaster needed to get an early goal and that’s just what they did – Harry pouncing to poke the ball home after the goalkeeper dropped a shot. Chances came and went at both ends – Alfie playing an absolute blinder in goal to keep Tadcaster in with a chance. With a couple of minutes to go, James collected the ball in his own half and set off at full tilt, beating four Heworth players before slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Tadcaster were well on top and the home crowd were loving it, but time ran out on a brave second half performance. Final score: Tadcaster 2, Heworth 3.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Megan in goal, Emily and Daniel in defence; James, Sam and Harry in midfield; Alfie up front.
Again, Tadcaster went 3-0 down in the first half, and yet again they came back strongly against the Heworth ‘A’ team. The first Tadcaster goal came from a deflected corner driven in by James. Half Time score: Tadcaster 1, Heworth 3.
Tadcaster got another goal back early in the second half – again from a deflected corner. Then after Alfie had been fouled twice in succession, James smashed in a free kick to bring the scores level at 3-3. That was as good as it got though and Heworth’s extra pace and strength told as they scored 3 goals to run out comfortable winners. Final score: Tadcaster 3, Heworth 6.
Tadcaster were beaten by the better side in both games, but for sheer effort, determination and bravery, there was only one winner for me !
Man of the Match: A very tough decision. But, its not easy being a ‘keeper and after conceding 3 in the first half of the first game, Alfie showed great determination & bravery, not to mention pulling off some great saves. Well done Alfie !

Hamilton Panthers v Tadcaster Riverside Albion (Under 8's)
U8’s Hamilton Panthers ‘v’ Tadcaster Riverside Albion
6th January 2008.
Yellow Team Match Report
1st Game
Hamilton Panthers 0 – 8 Tadcaster Albion
Goal Scorers: Harry (3), James (3), Megan, o.g.
2nd Game
Hamilton Panthers 1 – 2 Tadcaster Albion
Goal Scorers: Alfie, James
1st Game report
The Yellow team lined up for the first game with Alfie in goal; Emily and Joseph defence; James and Megan in midfield; Harry up front.
Tadcaster kicked off the competitive league in style with a convincing win. In difficult, muddy conditions, Albion applied pressure from the off and were quickly two goals up, both goals coming from Harry (the second one was the goal of the match). Further first half goals from Megan along with a couple for James meant Tadcaster were virtually home and dry by half time. Half time score: Hamilton Panthers 0, Tadcaster 5.
Daniel and Declan came on for the second half, replacing Emily and Megan. Tadcaster continued their solid display with both Daniel and Declan getting in some early tackles. Harry was the first to complete his hat-trick and James soon followed. The scoring was completed when one of the Panther’s defenders unluckily sliced the ball into his own net from a Tadcaster corner. Final score: Hamilton Panthers 0, Tadcaster Albion 8.
Overall, this was a strong, solid display.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Megan in goal; Daniel and Emily in defence; James and Declan in midfield; Alfie up front.
Goals from James and Alfie gave Tadcaster a 2-0 half time lead and despite and early second half goal from Hamilton, Tadcaster held out for a great win. Final score: Hamilton Panthers 1, Tadcaster Albion 2.
The team had been switched around for the second game with some of the stronger Tadcaster players getting a rest. The effort throughout this match proved what a great squad the yellow team are. Joseph is really starting to look confident with the ball; Daniel played his best match of the season and Declan had a great first match.
Man of the Match: Daniel – some good defensive positioning and strong tackling. Keep up the good work. Well done Dan !

Tadcaster Magnets 2 - Tadcaster Albion 2 (Under 10's A-Team)
Tadcaster Albion Under 10's "A Team" fought manfully to come back from 2-0 down to draw against Tadcaster Magnets at the Cricket Pitch. It was end to end action with 'Our Mick' directing the play from the sidelines. Even though we had more than a few absentees, the lads who turned out kept up their determination and if injury time had been played could well have prevailed. Tad Albion maintain their position 4 places above their hometown rivals. Results/league as shown here: - http://www.mitchellsoccer.co.uk/html/Under10.htm

Sunday's game is a 'must win' fixture if we are to be in with a chance of winning our respective 2A & 2B Divisions - "Our Mick" will be looking
for maximum concentration & determination(!).

Under 8's Match Report 9/12/2007 (Bishopthorpe) by Stephen King
U8’s Tadcaster Riverside Albion ‘v’ Bishopthorpe
9th December 2007.
Yellow Team Match Report
1st Game
Tadcaster Albion 2 – 0 Bishopthorpe
Goal Scorers: James, Louis
2nd Game
Tadcaster Albion 6 – 3 Bishopthorpe
Alfie (4), James (2)
1st Game report
Tadcaster lined up for the first game with Alfie in goal; Daniel and Emily in defence; Harry, Joseph and Louis in midfield; James up front.
Once again Tadcaster got off to a flying start with an early goal from James, but despite being well on top for most of the first half, the team didn’t really click. There were some good individual performances; particularly from Louis who did all of the hard work in midfield, but some of the good passing we’ve seen in previous weeks just wasn’t there. Half Time: score Tadcaster 1, Bishopthorpe 0.
Megan replaced Emily for the second half, with Joseph dropping back into defence and Harry being pushed up front. Harry looked much happier playing as a striker and he started to cause the Bishopthorpe defence a lot of problems with his pace and ability to beat players. Bishopthorpe came close to equalising, but a great save from Alfie kept Tadcaster’s in front. Finally with almost the last play of the match, Harry broke up field, beat the defenders and passed the ball to Louis for a simple tap in. Final score: Tadcaster 2, Bishopthorpe 0.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Megan in goal, Emily and Joseph in defence; James, Louis and harry in midfield; Alfie up front.
What a game! End to end play saw Tadcaster score first – Alfie tapping in following great work from Harry. Bishopthorpe equalised with a screamer and were then awarded a penalty! Megan pulled off a great save only to see the penalty taker react first and put in the rebound. James got the home side level just before half time with another great strike. Half Time score: Tadcaster 2, Bishopthorpe 2.
Daniel replaced Joseph for the second half and the goal kept coming. First an unlucky Tadcaster own goal put the away side in front, before goals two goals from Alfie one from James and finally another for Alfie capped a great fight back. Final score: Tadcaster 6, Woodthorpe 3.
Man of the Match: Alfie – A clean sheet in goal for the first game; four goals up front in the second – and all on his birthday. Well done Alfie !

Under 8's Match Report 25/11/2007 (Woodthorpe) by Stephen King
U8’s Tadcaster Riverside Albion ‘v’ Woodthorpe
25th November 2007.
Blue Team Match Report
1st Game
Tadcaster Albion 1 – 0 Woodthorpe
Goal Scorers: Ethan
2nd Game
Tadcaster Albion 0 – 0 Woodthorpe
1st Game report
Tadcaster lined up for the first game with Saul in goal; Charlie and Justin in defence; Ethan, Adam and Declan midfield; Edan up front.
In what turned out to be a very even contest, an under strength Tadcaster team started out well, looking to attack at every opportunity. Ethan was very much the driving force in midfield, whilst Edan, who was asked to play up front rather in his normal midfield role, chased everything. With Charlie and Justin providing a solid platform at the back – to such an extent that Saul hardly had a save to make – it was just a case of whether or not Tadcaster could create an opening to get the goal they deserved. The ball never quite ran for Tadcaster though as the first half ended goal-less. Half Time: score Tadcaster 0, Woodthorpe 0.
Lewis replaced Declan for the second half. Again, Tadcaster never looked like they would lose the game, thanks in the main to a fantastic display of defending from Charlie. Midway through the half, Ethan finally broke clear, supported by Edan. The two Taddy danger men looked for a minute as if they would get in each other’s way, but to the crowd’s delight, Ethan tucked the ball into the bottom corner. That turned out to be the winner Tadcaster deserved. Final score: Tadcaster 1, Woodthorpe 0.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Saul in goal, Charlie and Lewis in defence; Ethan, Justin and Declan in midfield; Edan up front.
The second game followed the pattern of the first game – Tadcaster rock solid at the back, but struggling to create clear cut chances. The best chance of the first half fell to Ethan whose shot looked goal bound until the Woodthorpe ‘keeper pulled off a great save. Half Time score: Tadcaster 0, Woodthorpe 0.
Adam replaced Edan for the second half. More frustration for Tadcaster, as they couldn’t quite finish off Woodthorpe. The ball just wouldn’t run for Tadcaster and on another day both Ethan and Edan would have been on the score sheet. Final score: Tadcaster 0, Woodthorpe 0.
Man of the Match: Charlie – Tackled and cleared everything Woodthorpe had to offer. Awesome ! Well done Charlie !

Lewis replaced Declan for the second half. Again, Tadcaster never looked like they would lose the game, thanks in the main to a fantastic display of defending from Charlie. Midway through the half, Ethan finally broke clear, supported by Edan. The two Taddy danger men looked for a minute as if they would get in each other’s way, but to the crowd’s delight, Ethan tucked the ball into the bottom corner. That turned out to be the winner Tadcaster deserved. Final score: Tadcaster 1, Woodthorpe 0.
2nd Game report
The line up for the second game was Saul in goal, Charlie and Lewis in defence; Ethan, Justin and Declan in midfield; Edan up front.
The second game followed the pattern of the first game – Tadcaster rock solid at the back, but struggling to create clear cut chances. The best chance of the first half fell to Ethan whose shot looked goal bound until the Woodthorpe ‘keeper pulled off a great save. Half Time score: Tadcaster 0, Woodthorpe 0.
Adam replaced Edan for the second half. More frustration for Tadcaster, as they couldn’t quite finish off Woodthorpe. The ball just wouldn’t run for Tadcaster and on another day both Ethan and Edan would have been on the score sheet. Final score: Tadcaster 0, Woodthorpe 0.
Man of the Match: Charlie – Tackled and cleared everything Woodthorpe had to offer. Awesome ! Well done Charlie !
