James Walshaw got the visitors up and running from the penalty spot before Paul Walker capitalised on a mistake by Charlie Murphy.

Taddy were awarded a penalty of their own with twenty minutes to go with the possibility of setting up a grandstand finish but Tom Corner saw his spot-kick well saved by Graham McKibbin.

Taddy boss Billy Miller made three alterations to the win over Clitheroe with Charlie Murphy deputising for Michael Ingham, Jimmy Beadle back in for Charlie Binns and Rob Youhill preferred to Conor Sellars.

The two sides met in the league just over two weeks ago and that produced no goals, however, the deadlock was broken after just eleven minutes this time around

Liam Shepherd was adjudged to have upended Richard Marshall just inside the box and James Walshaw stepped up and stroked the penalty down the middle to give the Celts an early lead.

Farsley were looking ominously dangerous as they dominated possession and pushed The Brewers backwards. Ross Daly and Walshaw both came close to further extending Celtic’s lead but couldn’t quite force Murphy into making a save.

Taddy were looking unusually lacklustre as Farsley continued to pile the pressure on. Defender Ryan Serrant had a good chance to make it two but he fired wide from an inside left position.

Tadcaster did finally create a good chance of their own five minutes from the break. Jono Greening’s clip in behind was latched onto by brother Josh whose rasping half volley was impressively kept out by Graham McKibbin.

McKibbin however almost went from hero to zero in less than sixty seconds after completely missing the corner kick but luckily enough for the Celts keeper, no yellow shirt was on-hand to turn home.

Despite a poor first half, manager Billy Miller opted to make no changes and his side initially started the second half brighter. Josh Greening was set in down the left once more but the forward fired narrowly over the mark.

A bright start to the second half swiftly turned into a dark and demoralising start as Celtic doubled their lead. Richard Marshall’s fierce looping header across goal was dropped by goalkeeper Charlie Murphy and Paul Walker reacted quickest to turn in from five yards.

This seemed to completely deflate The Brewers as the visitors continued to get more and more familiar with the ball. Richard Marshall and Paul Walker both then came close to rounding off the FA Cup tie.

Conor Sellars’ introduction seemed to inject some life and lift into Taddy as they had just twenty minutes to try and salvage the tie.

Tad were handed a life line in the 70th minute as referee Dean Craig pointed to the penalty spot for the second time of the afternoon after Ryan Serrant clicked the heels of Tom Corner.

The upended player grabbed the ball and stepped up himself but the in-form Tom Corner saw his penalty well saved by Graham McKibbin which really did leave Tadcaster depleted.

The Brewers had one final chance to pull a goal back as Rob Youhill set Corner in on goal but once more, McKibbin denied the striker.

Focus is now back to the league campaign as Taddy crash out of the Emirates FA Cup in the Second Qualifying Round. They barely got out of first gear but credit has to go to Farsley who have nullified Tadcaster’s potent attack on two occasions now.
