Match Preview

After a fine win in midweek, Tadcaster Albion take on newly merged Ossett United for the first time in their history on Saturday.

A rampant 4-0 victory over Frickley for the Brewers on Tuesday night should give them great confidence coming into this contest.

Joe Lumsden is already becoming a favourite on the terraces for his emphatic goalscoring ability, another three goals on Tuesday takes him to eight for the season already. With the likes of Lumsden, Stewart, Whitehouse and Colley always a threat on the front foot, it’s largely going down to keeping the ball out of the net at the other end.

The general in-possession play hasn’t been poor at all so far this year, it has been out of possession that has cost Albion points but that blistering and dominant display in midweek proved they can do it with aplomb.

As for Andy Welsh’s side, they’ve made a strong start to their debut campaign in the Evo-Stik East League as they are yet to taste defeat. Currently sitting in 6th on 9 points, United are also coming into this match confident after a hard-earned point away at leaders Marske in midweek. Their two victories came in the opening two games of the season against Loughborough and Cleethorpes respectively.

A win for Taddy could see them rise as high as 6th whereas the visitors could in fact go top if other results go their way of course.

It certainly should be another entertaining spectacle at the i2i!

Team News: Taddy expected to name same XI that thrashed Frickley in midweek. Aiden Savory and Jason Mycoe both absent for today’s match. Tom Corner and Jack Vann set to start against their former club.
