There’s a real sense of optimism around Tadcaster Albion this season after a new duo at the helm in Michael Morton and Simon Collins who have brought in no fewer than eleven new faces.

The signings made all have experience of playing at a higher level and have the knowhow of how to get out of this division after many did it with Farsley Celtic last year.

Ramsbottom finished last season in 14th place in the Evo-Stik First Division North, five spots above the Brewers and nine points better off.

Rammy themselves have brought in several new players including former FC United of Manchester midfielder Jerome Wright. The 32-year-old played 400 times for FC United scoring 82 goals along the way so will certainly be one that Taddy will have to watch out for on the left-hand side.

The match between the two sides at the Harry Williams Stadium last season ended in an exhilarating 3-3 draw with a last gasp equaliser sending the travelling Taddy fans home happy.

Team News: Taddy come into the first game of the season without several players due to differing reasons. Danny Frost (wedding), Sam Akeroyd (suspended) and Jason Mycoe (away) will all be missing for the season opener. However, new signing Cam Murray is in-line to make his debut but Corey Roper will have to wait another week due to International Clearance not coming through in time.

Enjoy the game!
