Starting line-up was Joe, Matty, Josh, Adamski, Joel, Macca, Wardy, Hazza, Craggers, Sam & JB.
Our subs WOULD have been Ollie P & Paul if Ollie P had remembered to bring the right size boots! TAJFC were fully up for it after last week's mangled and mis-cued cup clash against fellow title chasers Rawcliffe Warriors. The promise of chip butties at the end seemed to reverberate through the team like a wave of stifled hysteria. Joe actually asked the ref to hang on whilst he found his emergency ketchup. On Pock's excellent pitch, TAJFC pressed and pressured the opposition relentlessly and during 30 mins Pock only got into the Tad penalty area twice. First half goals came from Josh (5 mins), screamer from Adamski (16 mins), Josh again (22 mins) and Matty on 28 mins. Craggers was suffering from jelly-belly after consuming a Chicken Bhuna following a wild night on the town and was manfully substituted by Paul on 20mins.
Playing against the wind and uphill in the second half, Josh soon found his mark again with a further 2 goals on 35 & 40mins. There was some really superb linking play between Sam, Macca & Joel down the right flank that lead to a goal from Macca on 42mins and a swift follow up came in a similar style with an excellent goal from Matty 60 seconds later. Josh capped off the day with his fifth on 55 mins. The ref must have been feeling the cold because he blew the final whistle at 59:30. Man Of The Match went (for the first time this season - despite being our top goal scorer) to Joel for great skill, strength and vision out on the right. Excellent all-around performance........same again when play them next week, please - goals are vital at this halfway point (Copmanthorpe scored the same amount as us today). See you on Wednesday 6pm. New training kit due this week!
