| Match report | With Andy away, Darren & Peter picked up the Coaching baton for this traditionally difficult fixture. Warm up was kept to a minimum to preserve what energy the boys had after a day at school and the game started with Fulford playing uphill. After a brief period of intense pressure, Fulford got into their stride and created the most promising opportunities. Ollie was working very hard upfront and almost found us a goal. In fact it was Taddy who opened the scoring having been given a bit too much time alone with the ball in our box. Fulford heads were not down though and we continued to push forward (uphill!) at every opportunity. Eventually a ball found Ollie with time and space to smash home an equaliser. The sides went in all square at half time - an excellent half for Fulford. Darren and Peter praised the boys for their hard work and asked for more of the same in the second period. The game continued to be even after the break until an accidental meeting of Simeon and Andy's heads necessitated some urgent ice treatment for our right back, Andy. Unfortunately, whilst a man short, Tadcaster pressed hard and eventually managed to scramble the ball over the line for 2-1. Andy's a brave lad and wanted to come back on and help the team despite his injury. He took a more forward position in an attempt to avoid the need for defensive headers. Fulford pressed hard for an equaliser and found one courtesy of Louis' strong shot from the middle of the area into the centre of the Magnets' net. 2-2 and all to play for. Both sides had chances, but it was Tadcaster who ultimately prevailed, scoring a breakaway goal a few minutes from time. It was an even match and a draw would have better reflected the balance of play. Darren and Peter complimented the boys on the quality of the football they had played and the fight they had showed against one of the top teams in York. Look out York Cubs on the 28th!
