Match Preview

On Wednesday evening the Brewers make the trip to Maltby Main looking to keep top spot in the NCEL Premier Division.

Taddy go into the game on the back of a late postponement at Pickering Town on Saturday after the North Yorkshire Derby was called off with just 45 minutes to go until kick-off.

Maltby currently sit in an impressive 9th place in the NCEL Premier Division and a win for the Miners could see them move up to as high as 7th place with many games in hand over Albion Sports.

Main are having an excellent season under their new management team of Spencer Fearn and Mark Askwith picking up 51 points from 30 games so far.

In their last six league matches Maltby have impressively won four and lost just one. They beat Parkgate, Worksop Town, Thackley and Bridlington Town as the Miners continue their impressive run.

The more impressive stat is that they have won their last nine out of ten league matches which is phenomenal, Taddy are certainly in for a hard fought game.

Brian Cusworth and Joshua Nodder are Maltby’s top scorers with 12 goals each, they seem to be the two biggest threats to The Brewers’ usually solid defence.

The two sides met for the first time this season back on the opening day of the 2015/16 campaign. On a scorching day down at the i2i stadium, Taddy ran out 6-3 winners in a high scoring encounter with goals coming from Liam Ormsby, Nick Black, Joe Thornton (2), Jimmy Beadle and George Conway.

Team News: No new injury concerns for Billy Miller to deal with, Adam Baker is set to come back into the starting line-up after being rested against Barton Town Old Boys ten days ago.

Prediction: Maltby Main 1-2 Tadcaster Albion – Maltby is never an easy place to go, it will undoubtedly be a scrap but I predict Taddy will squeeze past the Miners courtesy of goals from Baker and Beadle.

We are running a mini bus for the match, but if you are making your own way there the postcode is S66 7JQ. #tadallover
