Match Preview

The new management team of Michael Morton and Simon Collins take charge of their first match at the i2i stadium on Saturday when Doncaster Rovers come to town.

The newly promoted Sky Bet League One side will provide a great test for the fresh looking Taddy squad along with being a fantastic opportunity for the players to test themselves.

The new Taddy duo kicked off their reign last week with a 2-0 victory over NCEL Division One side Knaresborough Town.

New signings Danny Frost and Jake Ellam were the two to find the back of the net. Livewire Frost opened his Taddy account in the first half with a neat left-footed finish into the bottom corner.

The second half was a much more dominant display from Morton & Collins’ side as Jake Ellam also netted his first for the club after a brilliant counter attacking move saw Josh Greening deliver on a plate for the former Ossett Town man.

John Marquis is one of the many danger men to watch out for after the former Millwall forward netted 26 times last season.

Today will also see former Brewer Alfie Beestin return to the i2i stadium so it will be good to see him again, hopefully he doesn’t cause us too many problems. Joking aside, it is great to see that a player that Mikey & Si coached for three years has gone on to play professionally for a great club in Doncaster Rovers.

Team News: After missing last week’s pre-season opener; defenders Andy Milne and Aiden Savory both return to the squad with Joel Dixon, Aaron Hardy and Pete Davidson being the only absentees.

Kick-off 3pm with the bar open from 12:45pm.
