Report: Taddy Kick Off Pre-Season With A Win

It was the home side who took the lead in the 19th minute as Jason Yates lined the shot up and rifled the ball into the bottom corner from range.

However Taddy pegged the NCEL side back in the 35th minute after an even start to the friendly.

Conor Sellars is known as a 'free-kick specialist' within the squad and he didn't let that title down. He carefully and precisely fired the ball passed Snaith and into the bottom corner from 25 yards out.

The Brewers ramped up the pressure in the second half and could and should have found the net on several occasions.

Steven Jeff, who was having a good first game at left-back threaded a precise through ball to Tom Corner whose touch round the goalkeeper led him to a nigh on impossible angle. Corner rolled across the face of goal, Youhill retrieved and pulled back to Sellars but the midfielder's effort was well kept out.

Some terrific defending from both sides kept the scores level until the 80th minute that is.

A long throw-in from substitute Trialist A was flicked on to Adam Baker who kept his cool and struck into the back of the net.

Many good performances all round for Taddy and no injuries to note. All in all a good days work.

Charlie Murphy was confident and a presence in goal. The full-backs of Steven Jeff and Josh Barrett were solid defensively and a menace going forward.

Gregg Anderson and Andy Milne were impressive as ever at the back. No such thing as a pre-season match for them two.

Jono Greening and new signing Liam Shepherd worked well together in the middle of the park. Greening different class as ever and Shepherd was dogged and positive throughout.

Adam Baker and Rob Youhill were providing the width on the wings. Youhill making his debut, is an out and out old fashioned winger who purely likes to beat his man and get a cross in and this is exactly what he did time and time again.

Baker netted the winning goal after constant persistence on the left hand side.

Conor Sellars was a handful playing in a more central position, somewhere we aren't used to seeing him but another good display capped off with a precise free-kick.

Tom Corner looked lively leading the line for The Brewers making intelligent runs down the channels and he can feel a little unlucky not to have gotten on the scoresheet.

And finally there were three trialists that came off the bench all of which looked promising.

Our next pre-season friendly is on Wednesday night at Pickering Town.
