TAJFC 9 - Huntington 3 (Under 12's)

Well done to TAJFC Under 12's for a good performance against Huntington today at The Ings.

Starting line-up was Josh J, Matty, Hamish, Adam, Joel, Macca, Ollie W, Hazza, Craig, Sam and JB. Huntington were a smartly turned out, professional-looking side who (at the start of the match) were 3rd in the league, one place above TAJFC. Play was pretty even in the first 10 mins until Hazza broke the deadlock on 12 mins with a shot from just inside the area at an acute angle that went into the top corner. Joel swiftly followed up with 2 goals, coolly taken, at 18 mins and 21 mins. Josh J, who is improving his game week on week, slotted one home on 26 mins and Hazza took the score to 6-0 at half time. Matty, Josh J and Adam gave way to George, Paul and Angus at the break with George playing up front next to Paul and Angus slotting into defence next to Craig.

Paul opened his account almost immediately from the re-start, but Huntington fought back with vigour and pulled one back on 38 mins. Tadcaster lost their shape slightly and conceded another in short order. Hamish scored a blinder on 45 mins with Matty bringing the score to 9 with a great shot on 50 mins. Huntington scored from a debatable free-kick just outside the are which was helped by the strong wind that picked up in the second half. Good overall performance with creditable activity in almost all areas, but, as always, room for improvement! Man Of The Match - Hazza in recognition of his strength, skill and workrate. Congratulations to TABlues who beat Pocklington Aztecs 1-2 and thanks to Joe & Ollie P for their special contribution this week. Training moves to Wednesday nights at 6pm under floodlights - please remember, no steel studs and warm clothing - our new pitch is a bit exposed...;

Thanks to all of the people who have paid deposits to the Christmas Party - this looks like it's going to be a mammoth joint event with the U11's and we may have to increase the numbers available - more info to follow. As always, thanks to the Parents for their help and support.
