Tad Albion U9s 'v' Fulford (1st February)

'A' Team Match Reports

Tadcaster Albion 0 – 0 Fulford
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom

A bitterly cold February morning saw Tadcaster entertain Fulford hoping to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
After the slightly lack luster performance last time out, Tadcaster knew they had plenty of room for improvement. The early signs were good as the midfield trio of Tom, Ethan and Jack quickly gained the upper hand. The Fulford defence was resolute however and snuffed out every half chance which came Tadcaster’s way. As the first half developed Fulford got themselves back into the game and what followed was an intriguing battle between two very evenly matched teams. The closest either team came to breaking the deadlock was a cracking long range effort from Tom which just cleared the cross bar.
The second half followed the pattern of the first half with both sides playing some neat football, but neither team seriously looking like scoring. Half chances came and went at either end; Alfie had to be brave to smother a Fulford attack and in the last couple of minutes Tadcaster pressed hard for the winner but just didn’t quite get the luck they needed.
Overall this was a massively improved display from Tadcaster. Great energy and determination from every single player.
Man of the Match: George – Had a storming game in defence.

2nd Game report
Tadcaster Albion 1 – 0 Fulford
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom
Scorers: Jack

Both sides fielded largely the same teams as in the first match and the result was another close game. Tadcaster had some good chances before the break, but some admirable scrambling defence from Fulford coupled with Tadcaster’s tendency to hang on to the ball a little bit too long saw the half end goal-less.
Thankfully, the second half did see a goal and to the delight of the home crowd it went to Tadcaster with Jack bundling the ball in from close range for what turned out to be the winner.
Man of the Match: Ethan – a tireless display in midfield.

Warning! - Bogus Agents! - WRCFA Circular

Scam !

Young players, clubs and parents are advised about a scam that The FA has recently been made aware of.Persons purporting to be licensed agents are sending out spam emails promising trials with various clubs, using details from the list of licensed agents on the FIFA website, www.fifa.com. The clubs and the Agents whose names have been used have no knowledge of the potential 'trials'.The scam appears to work around promising trials to young players with various clubs and then asking for payment in advance to cover 'insurance and travel'. Once the money is sent, no more is heard.Anyone who is a victim of this scam should contact their local police.

Tad Albion U9s 'v' Rawcliffe (18th January)

'A' Team Match Reports

Rawcliffe 0 – 0 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Sam, Scott, Tom

A cold damp January morning saw Tadcaster travel to Rawcliffe hoping to build on last week’s draw with Bishopthorpe.
Tadcaster were slow out of the blocks as Rawcliffe took control of the early proceedings. Scott and George had their hands full at the back as the Rawcliffe midfield quickly gained the upper hand. Tadcaster, still rusty from the long lay off through November, December and early January just never got going. They were guilty of dwelling too long on the ball when they had possession and lost out on nearly all of the 50/50 balls in midfield. Having said that, credit must be given to Rawcliffe, who played extremely well - they passed the ball as well as any team Tadcaster have faced this season.
The second half followed the pattern of the first. Rawcliffe were well on top, but for all their domination in midfield, they rarely looked like scoring. In the end, a draw was probably a good result for Tadcaster.
Not quite the performance we were looking for, but there were plenty of positives to take from the game. Commitment was great as usual and between them Scott, George and Charlie managed to snuff of most of the danger. When he was needed Alfie showed great determination and bravery charging out to collect the ball.
Man of the Match: Alfie – Great concentration in goal. Did well when we needed him.

2nd Game report
Rawcliffe 0 – 0 Tadcaster Albion
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, Ethan, George, Jack, James, Louis, Scott, Tom

Tadcaster showed signs of improvement in the second game. As a whole the team displayed a lot more cohesion and a bit more determination to be first to the loose ball. Louis got himself into some good forward positions, as did Alfie, but neither could find the space against a very well organized Rawcliffe defence.
The second half saw Tom pushed up after his defensive stint and he nearly broke the deadlock towards the end of the match. Great work down the right hand side saw the ball fall to Tom on front of goal, but tired legs saw him blaze the ball just over the bar.
Man of the Match: Tom – Stood out for Tadcaster with a great effort for the team.

Malton 2-TAJFC 2 + Match Rearranged

TAJFC had an unsettled day at their away fixture against Old Malton. Playing on a VAST pitch the Lads were 2-0 up when Josh J took a shoulder barge from an opposing player that resulted in a movement from which Old Malton scored. Unfortunately the injury to Josh was quite severe and necessitated a trip to A&E. Shortly after this Joel B was the victim of a mistimed tackle and took a nasty knock to his hip. Briefly down to 10 men, a rattled TAJFC conceded a second goal.
Joel B was allowed back on the pitch and was promptly booked for dissent following an altercation with a Malton player.

Though the play throughout the game was a little "confused" it was an improvement on last week (just!). Our Goalie John kept us in the game - again - and was awarded Man of The Match for the second week running. The goals came from Joe Simon and one from Young George Brown - "come on down"!

STOP PRESS**
Next week's home game against Tadcaster Magnets has been re-arranged to Sunday 15th March. We have no match next Sunday - training as normal on Friday.

FINALLY**
Many thanks to all those who have bought tickets for the Valentine's Party. This fundraising event is crucial to the running of the Club in the period prior to the TAJFC Tournament. The expenses for running TAJFC have increased dramatically with the costs of running the 2 full size pitches at the Ings alone total £5,000+ excluding the cost of referees, kits or equipment.
I understand if this type of event might not appeal or it may be difficult or expensive to get babysitters or transport on the night. If you can't come or you think the event is not for you - could I respectfully request a small contribution towards the running of the club for the next couple of months. Cheques payable to TAJFC please. If your cheque or contribution exceeds £15 I will throw in a free ticket to the Valentine Party that you can gift to anyone aged over 21.

U11 New Year Training & Matches 2009

Training re-starts on Friday 2nd January 2009 at Tadcaster Leisure Centre 5:50pm - 7pm for TAJFC and TAB. Subs are due (some have already paid me, thanks) - I'll have a list of amounts due on Friday.





TAJFC players have generally been paying in advance and we have almost had a 100% turnout every week (again-thank you!) We have to 'block book' the Sports Hall so Tadcaster Albion Blues need to pay Nick Devine £4 (plus any previous amounts owed) at the Blues match on Sunday 4th January.

Here are the fixtures until the end of year:

4th Jan - Popp Lions vs TAJFC /TAB vs Rawcliffe

11th Jan - TAJFC vs Norwich Union/ Thorpe vs TAB

18th Jan - Old Malton vs TAJFC /TAB vs Wilberfoss

25th Jan - TAJFC vs Magnets /Heworth vs TAB

1st Feb - Brooklyn vs TAJFC /TAB vs Huntington

8th Feb - TAJFC vs Osbaldwick/ Rawcliffe vs TAB

15th Feb - TAJFC vs York Cubs/ Huntington vs TAB

22nd Feb - York Cubs vs TAJFC /TAB vs Thorpe

1st March - TAJFC vs Leeds Academy/ Wiberfoss vs TAB

8th March - Pickering vs TAJFC /TAB vs Heworth Colts

15th March - Leeds Academy vs TAJFC /TAB vs Heworth Colts

22nd March - TAJFC vs TBA/ Rawcliffe vs TAB

29th March - TAJFC vs TAB /TAJFC vs TAB

12th April TBA/ TBA

19th April TBA/ TBA

26th April TBA TBA

League Presentations - Sunday 3rd May (provisional)

TAJFC Tournament - 23rd /24th May (provisional)

Garforth Tourmanent TBC

Ulleskelf Tournament TBC

As you can see it's a packed programme! - We did our very best to accommodate clashes with Scouts and School in 2008 - Could I respectfully request that TAJFC/TABlues are given priority (as much as possible) as we go into the final part of the season. TAJFC have a real possibility of being Division Champions this year which would be a massive achievement for a club whose "player pool" has been split and is consequently fielding two Under 11's Teams. I've already been notified of a Scout activity on 3rd/4th January - if this effects you could you please email me as soon as possible on nickbrown@btinternet.com or ring on 07778 993896. It's too late for us to postpone the Poppleton game on the 4th Jan so we will have to play it regardless of numbers - we just need to know so that we can plan accordingly.

As always, if you have any constructive feedback - please feel free to get in touch at anytime via the details above.

Finally, tickets to the Valentine's Party (Adults) are selling rapidly - I'll be bringing tickets with me to Training on Friday. It's a fundraiser for Junior Football and an excuse to let your hair down (not you Mick!) Full details are here: http://tadcasteralbionjuniors.blogspot.com/2008/12/annual-valentine-party-adults.html

Christmas & New Year Message

Message from TAJFC Secretary Keith Sawden.

"This year has been my 1st as Secretary of the Juniors, we have seen some excellent results across the
age groups, and many of our teams are top of their respective leagues, a proud position to be in at
the end of 2008. Let’s hope this can continue throughout 2009. Our Club is run by enthusiastic
volunteers giving up much of their valuable time, but we wouldn’t have a Junior section if it wasn’t
for the boys and girls who play their hearts out every week, supported by an ever faithful band of
supportive parents who stand in all weather cheering for their sons and daughters. As we go into
another year I would like to thank everyone for their effort, support and contribution during the past
year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone." - Keith Sawden

TAJFC Girls U15 vs Pocklington

"TADCASTER ALBION U15 GIRLS fought out a tough-tackling 0-0 draw away at POCKLINGTON TOWN in the freezing fog. Chances were few and far between with Beth Shindler and Fran Coldwell coming closest for Taddy. At the other end, Taddy's player of the day, Kathryn Clow, pulled off a brilliant late save to deny the home side and maintain Taddy's second place in York League South Division."

Copmanthorpe 3 - TAJFC 7 (Under 11's)

Excellent team performance from TAJFC Under 11's at Copmanthorpe and a really entertaining match to watch. Brass monkey weather, but a performance to warm the heart....; We had drama - Matty Orr taking out the back of the net with a piledriver........we had pathos - one of the best keepers we have come across all season unable to stop our goal scorers and comedy - Joel conceeding a penalty and then taking out a pigeon flying at 60ft. Goals galore from the usual suspects, really superb defending from Hazza, Sam, Josh Macca and Man of The Match "Raw Meat" himself. Special thanks to our substitute goalie - George. One game left - York Cubs at home on the 7th - TAJFC retain their position at the top of their division. Christmas Party 13th December!

Top of The League (click to enlarge)

"TADCASTER ALBION ALBION U15 GIRLS eased to a comfortable 2-0 home win against a physical POCKLINGTON TOWN in the York League South Division. Taddy stretched their unbeaten run to five games with two superb first half strikes from Taddy's girl of the game Katie Falkingham, the first a one-on-one with the keeper and the second a rasping drive from outside the area. The home side never looked like conceding and throughly deserved their win."

TAJFC Under 11's - Back On Top!

See you at training on Friday 5:50pm

TAJFC 5 - Copmanthorpe 2 (Under 11's)

TAJFC had a slight return to form on Sunday 16th with a shaky but nonetheless victorious performance. I am sure that the scoreline looks convincing enough, but given the chances Tadcaster had the score should have been 10-0.

Goals came from Joe Simon (2), Harry Hardy (1 -penalty) and Joel Brown (2). Despite this being a good team effort there were some players who had a higher work rate; notably Matty Orr, Adam Brammar and Man of The Match - Joseph "M.D." Simon.

Mick has vowed to "up the ante" during our fitness training on Friday so don't have any fizzy drinks in the preceeding 24 hours. Joking apart we have been very pleased with the response to this type of training.

Mick & I put up the nets and corner flags........(it's nice to be able to chat without fear of interruption) with an offer of assistance coming from the parent who lives furthest from the venue(Mr Cheetham!). Thanks to all of the people who helped us pack up and thanks to Mark & Cath Jackson who prepare the drinks every week; a little more help prior to the game would be appreciated. For those of you with SatNav in your Volkswagen the postcode is LS24 9AY. There were an array of items left behind which we will bring to training on Friday. Only a couple of games left until Christmas and we are joint-top on points with some team called Osbaldwick. Let's go into the Christmas break in the best possible position!

Cub/Scouts - Potential Match Clash 14th December 2008

John Swift has alerted me to a potential clash between a Cub/Scout event and matches for the Under 10's and Under 11's.

The Scouts are going to "Wet & Wild" in North Shields on Sunday 14th December and the trip will last from 9:00am to 6:00pm. On the same day, TAJFC Under 11's are due to meet Pickering Town (away), TABlues Under 11's are due to play Huntington at home and TAJFC Under 10's have a fixture with Pocklington (away).

Speaking for the TAJFC Under 11's, it seems likely that quite a lot of our team will be at 'Wet & Wild' so we may have to postpone.

Could you please get in touch with your respective managers/admin to confirm whether you will be available to play or not - we need to give notice (and a good reason) to the League - please don't leave it to chance and get in touch as soon as possible. Apologies if Cubs are not involved.

Contact:

nickbrown@btinternet,com (TAJFC U11's)

devinenicholas@aol.com (TABlues U'11s)

and your relevant contact if Cubs/U10's are involved.

Blast From The Past

This was the first game ever played by "Bass Juniors" (against Tadcaster Albion!). Bass Juniors became "Tadcaster Riverside Albion" which eventually became the major part of "TAJFC". As you can see in 2001 this team was coached by members of The Village People.

U15 Girls vs Sherburn White Rose

TADCASTER ALBION U15 GIRLS drew 2-2 in their top of the table clash at SHERBURN WHITE ROSE in the York League South Division. Tadcaster struggled to find their usual fluent passing game but eventually found the back of the net with a well worked move down the right side involving Jordanne, Bexs and eventually netted by Beth Shindler,Taddy showed some good defecive football with strong performances from Vicky, Bex's, Jordanne and Jess. Taddy's second goal came from a goal mouth scrammble scored by Katy Falkingham. Sherburn pulled one back with a corking volly ( a contender for goal of the season) leaving Kathryn stood wondering where the rocket came from! on the stroke of half-time. After another scrappy goal mouth scramble allowed Sherburn to grabbed an equaliser five minutes from the final whistle to stay top of the table. Jess Moorhouse was Taddy's girl of the game.".Today's subs where Rachel and Sarah. Tad 'keeper and mascot pictured!

Osbaldwick vs TAJFC (U11's)

There was a real "muck & bullets" clash at Osbaldwick on Sunday 9th November, when the U11's braved the biting wind and rain to meet the title-chasers a spit from the B&Q car park (some patio heaters would have come in useful).
Perhaps it was the because the match was played in the fading light of the afternoon, or perhaps it was because it followed a long trip to Alton Towers the previous day, but the mighty TAJFC were definitely below their normal standard. After the customary 2 mins silence for Remembrance Sunday the lads fought an epic battle against an Osbaldwick side who looked as though some of them were married with children and had driven themselves to the game. As Sir Alex often says to me - "You can have the best players in the world but sometimes you canne get a break!". Tough tackling, shoulder barges, tripping up of players and "tutting" loudly were all employed by the seasoned Tadcaster team but on this occasion Osbaldwick were just too strong. Man of the Match (Man of The Moment!) was Matty "Raphael" Orr for his tireless work rate - roll on Copmanthorpe at the Ings on Sunday- be afraid, be very afraid.

Tad Girls Thrash Whitley Wolverines! (Under 15's)

TADCASTER ALBION U15 GIRLS extended their unbeaten run to four games with a 9-0 home win over depleted WHITLEY WOLVERINES. Taddy started slowly with two first half-goals by Katie Falkingham. She completed her hat-trick early in the second half with further goals from Fran Coldwell (4), Beth Shindler and Rachel Clarkson. Taddy girl of the game was Jordanne Devine.

Tad Albion U9s 'v' Rawcliffe (2nd November)

'A' Team Match Reports

Tadcaster Albion 2 – 1 Rawcliffe
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom
Scorers: James, Tom

A cold damp November morning greeted the visit of Rawcliffe to Riverside. Tadcaster have never beaten Rawcliffe’s A team, but hopes were high following a good string of results.
Rawcliffe started confidently with some good slick passing in midfield, but without causing any real threat. As the first half evolved Tadcaster began to dominate with strong tackling from Jack and Tom providing the platform for some good spells of possession. Tom was rewarded for his good start when long range effort took a slight defection into the goal and Tadcaster doubled their lead soon after when James fired in from wide on the left. Tadcaster were playing some fantastic football using the full width of the pitch and stretching the Rawcliffe defence on numerous occasions. Tadcaster could (and should) have increased their lead, and they were made to pay when Rawcliffe got themselves back into the game with a viscous swerving shot from well outside the area.
From the start of the second half Tadcaster continued to cause problems for Rawcliffe with James and Jack giving the Rawcliffe defenders a torrid time, but once again Tadcaster couldn’t convert their superiority into goals. In defence, George and Charlie had been largely untroubled up until this point but as the midfield began to tire, they really had to work hard to hold on to the lead. Charlie somehow managed to show his usual composure, and George must have covered more ground in the last 5 minutes than the whole of the preceding game. Between them they limited Rawcliffe to a single shot which Alfie did really well to gather.
This was another great game to watch against a good team who played their part. There was lots to admire in the play from Tadcaster today and the only negatives are that we didn’t close out the match in the first half and also that we left the defence exposed on too many occasions at the end. Something for the manager to ponder before our next game in a fortnight.
Man of the Match: George – Fantastic defensive display.

2nd Game report
Tadcaster Albion 1 – 1 Rawcliffe
Squad: Alfie, Charlie, George, Jack, James, Scott, Tom
Scorers: Jack

With both teams having played the first game without substitutes on a fairly heavy pitch, there were some very tired legs during the second game. The first half didn’t have the same intensity we had witnessed earlier and ended goal-less.
The game sprang into life though when Rawcliffe took the lead early in the second half. As Tadcaster went looking for the equaliser the game became real end to end stuff. Scott performed heroics on a number of occasions scrambling back to defend whilst Tadcaster poured forward trying to get back into the game. In the end it was a sublime goal from Jack which did just that. His pace took him right through the heart of the Rawcliffe defence and the coolest of finishes ensured that honours finished even.
Man of the Match: Scott – great determination in defence.

TAJFC Crash Out of League Cup (U11's)

TAJFC were desperately unlucky in their Ryedale League Cup game at the Ings today. The Lads played for 62 mins with no substitutes and battled valiantly against 2007's First Division runners-up Heworth Stallions. Goals came from Harry Hardy (2) and Joe "Mr Dynamite" Simon (2) with strong, committed performances from John "True Grit" Broadley, Ollie Patrick, Oliver Ward, Sam Cheetham, Hazza, Joel, Matty Orr, Josh Jackson, Josh"Macca" McCarthy, Adam "Raw Meat" Brammar and the aformentioned Joe Simon. The refereeing decisions went against TAJFC on numerous occasions with Heworth credited with a goal scored from outside the area of play. As Arsene Wenger once remarked "green side up when you are laying turf". Final score TAJFC 4 - Heworth Stallions 5.
TAJFC have won all 6 of their League games to date and meet Osbaldwick next Sunday afternoon at 1pm (TBC)
