Tadcaster Albion U13's were back to their winning ways today with a great result 7-2 against Wilberfoss (a team that we couldn't beat last year).

Registration Day at Riverside (September 2010) - Kindergarten, U7's, U10's and U12's.

Great result in our Friendly against Rawcliffe today, especially considering that Rawcliffe went the whole season unbeaten last year and were Division Champions.

I'll be in touch over the next 24 hours to tell you who is in the squad for Tuesday night. As I mentioned today - tons of games to play and I'm aware that some people are unavailable for parts of the season - please bear this in mind it you aren't in the squad on this occasion.

Man of the Match - Hazza Hardy for stepping into the breach and being our emergency goalkeeper 25mins after landing at Leeds Bradford Airport!

Kindergarten U7/U8 2011 - Riverside School

TAJFC U13 v Rawcliffe 5th September 2010

Firstly, thanks to those who were able to make it to the First Annual Riverside Tournament yesterday. We had a great day and got in some valuable ‘matchtime’.

Thanks again to Mr M Jackson, who worked tirelessly in the hours prior to kick-off to get the goalposts up (not an easy task!) and to Compo & Clegg who had a ride around in their wheelbarrow.

We’ll be playing Rawcliffe Warriors at home on Sunday 5th September 10:30am.

For those who have them (watch this space, Charlie, Oli & Jamie), please wear your dark blue Parson B training top and blue undershirt for this match. – Thanks.

Training has now moved permanently to 5:50pm – 7:10pm on Friday nights at Riverside School. Lifts to Scouts or destinations up the A64 are available as the nights draw in….;

Any problems, please let me know as soon as poss. Here’s to a great season for TAJFC U13’s.

Directions To Beckwithshaw - U13's 22nd August 2010

TAJFC U13's start their season in earnest with a trip out to the beautiful countryside around Harrogate, this coming Sunday 22nd August. We have a match against Beckwithshaw at their ground off Pennypot Lane. The postcode for the ground is HG3 2GA. I would advise the easiest route is to either go through Wetherby and cut across to the Leeds Road in Harrogate or take a slightly longer route up the A1 - exit on the A59 westbound (avoiding Knaresborough) - maps are shown above. Kick-off is a leisurely 1:45pm and we have unlimited subsitutes. Would be great for as many people as possible to make it - especially those who will be away immediately before the first league games. I will have 3 spaces in the limo should anyone require a lift in either direction with Joel and I. Ready to rumble at 1:20pm please. My mobile is 07778 993896 and the Beckwithshaw's manager's name is Roy Blair on 0787519938

TAJFC U12 League Table

Herewith, Tadcaster Albion U12's final league position relative to those below them.
The most telling statistic is TAJFC's Goal Difference relative to those lower in the table - a respectable +63 versus the next best team having just +4 and the bottom 5 teams on a significant minus. This figure is much better than last year (+38) and something to build on in 2010/2011.
Having taken feedback from parents and coaches from other agegroups, it's evident that the squad/team/planning and coaching methods need only minor adjustments to hit our true potential. More news on next season's plans and the new players who are coming in to strengthen the squad in the coming weeks. Thanks again to Parents, Grandparents, Aunties and Uncles for their help and kind words this season.

Tadcaster Albion 10 - Tadcaster Blues 0

Starting lineup was Joe S, Matty, Hamish, Adamski, Hazza, Joel, Ollie P, Ollie W, Paul, Sam and Macca in goal. Last league game of the season was Tadcaster Albion JFC vs Tadcaster Blues played in the rain on the Ings. This was TAJFC's 3rd game in 5 days (plus school "A" Team matches) and the lads showed a bit of fatigue. Play was a little sloppy all over the Park and TAJFC generally operated at about 75% of their maximum capacity. That said, there was was some excellent runs down both wings with Hamish playing like a gazelle that's had a Cherry Coke for breakfast.
TAJFC prowled Tad Blues' half of the pitch looking for an opening and found it when Joe scored the opener. TAJFC (despite a fair few lapses of concentration) took the measure of the opposition and bore down on them scoring 5 goals before the break (including the first of the season from full-back Sam)
Joe, Ollie W and Paul gave way to Josh J, Craggers and Angus in the second half and Tad Blues had a good spell where they threatened TAJFC's dominance of the game, however the work rate from Adam and Hazza in mid-field effectively galvanised the Blues' surge.
Through a long and wet second half TAJFC scored a further 4 goals, Joe swapped with Matty and Joel (who had waltzed past the Blues' defence and scored 3 in quick succession) went in goal to let Macca have a run out in midfield (we could hear the puffing and panting 50 yards away)
A final goal was scored in the last 5 mins taking the score to 10-0. Enormous credit must be given to The Blues who never once let their heads go down and looked as fresh and enthusiastic at the end of the game as they had at the start. Man Of The Match was voted for by the players and deservedly went to Hamish. Man Of The Match for the Blues was (equally deservedly) Matty J. Special mention to Joe (hat-trick!) who has found his shooting boots just in time for the Tournaments. Apologies for not listing all of the goals, my clipboard got wet. Further info to follow shortly regarding Presentations and Tournaments.
