Staveley MWFC 2-4 Tadcaster Albion
Toolstation NCEL League, Premier Division
Saturday 12th April, ko 3pm

The consistently inconsistent Staveley MWFC took to the field against Tadcaster Albion and were looking to end a run of three straight defeats.

After an immaculately observed minutes silence prior to kick off, in honour of the Hillsborough disaster, things didn't start well for Staveley as Tadcaster, clad in all yellow, went into the lead after only 3 minutes when a hopeful punt up field was lobbed past keeper Declan Howard by Stuart Rice.

0-1.

When you're playing against a team like Tadcaster going for the title, you need a few things to go your way, one of them is refereeing decisions and the majority of those in the early stages were not going the way of the home side.

Matt Hassett's arm was being pulled when racing for a loose ball, nothing given. Luckily he still got to the ball first and was able to knock it out for a corner, which James Coulbeck headed away.

Matt Thorpe (left), was the unfortunate recipient of a yellow card on 17 minutes after a 50/50 challenge with Nick Thompson. Both players missed the ball and clattered into each other, only Thompson ended up on the floor which probably made the referees mind up to find in Taddy's favour, when playing on would have been the correct decision.

Staveley then got into the game a little when Jonathan Wafula battled well in the middle of the park. The ball eventually worked its way up to Oli Ryan whose shot rebounded back off a defender, off Ryan again and out for a goal kick.

The advantage was played when Nick Hague burst down the right and he won a corner from which a goal mouth scramble ensued, which Tadcaster eventually cleared.

Moments later Wafula flicked on a long throw and Matt Hassett brought Staveley level after 22 minutes, side footing the high ball into the net.

1-1

Tadcaster then lost their goal scorer Stuart Rice to a nasty looking knee injury, the number 11 fell awkwardly after winning a corner. We hope he has a speedy recovery.

Staveley were well and truly in the game and were unlucky not to go in front on 30 minutes. Michael Trench cut in down the by-line passed the ball behind Thorpe but found Nick Hague in the box.

Hague, facing the wrong way, passed to Jonathan Wafula who was perfectly placed to shoot.

Unfortunately, the ball from Hague was slightly inaccurate and forced Wafula to recycle possession out to James Coulbeck, whose right wing cross eluded everyone except a stretching Michael Trench on the far post who couldn't quite get enough of a touch on the ball and it went wide.

Defensive frailties have been a running theme of late and another hopeful looking punt upfield was the undoing of Staveley.

Substitute Danny Critchlow ran past a flat looking defence, onto the ball and fired his side into the lead once more.

1-2

That lead lasted for only 4 minutes as Josh Scully (left), hit a stunning equaliser direct from a free kick won by Michael Trench. The left sided midfielder had danced past two defenders before being cynically brought down.

The perpetrator escaped a booking - a decision met with derision from most of the 120 in attendance as it clearly deserved one, especially considering Matt Thorpe's caution earlier in the game.

2-2

Just as the half was drawing to a close, Tadcaster went in front again. This time defender Matthew Sparks headed towards the goal from a corner and Wes Hill on the line got his head to the ball but was only able to head it into the net. The goal was credited to Sparks so was probably over the line before Wes' intervention.

HT: 2-3

A quick glance at the stats this season would show you that Staveley have conceded a significant number of goals straight from the start of the second half - well, they lasted until 51 minutes this time!

A poorly taken free kick in the defensive third from Matt Hassett went straight to Tadcaster. The ball eventually worked its way to number 9, Callum Ward, who hit the ball on the turn and scored his 9th goal of the season, giving Staveley a mountain to climb,

2-4

Far from capitulating though, Staveley showed that they are a very capable team and arguably bossed the rest of game creating a number of albeit, half chances, but chances none the less.

Matt Thorpe saw a first time volley just creep over the bar, Jonathan Wafula was fouled on the by-line when his next touch would've been a cross into the box, Michael Trench over hitting the resultant freekick and substitute Luke Walker created an opportunity for Wafula who headed straight at the keeper.

FT: 2-4

Some encouraging signs from an attacking point of view, but Staveley must sort out the defensive mistakes if they are to improve on 18th place in the final few games of the season.

STAVELEY:
Declan Howard, James Coulbeck, Wes Hill, Jonathan Wafula, Matt Hassett, Ryan Dickinson (James Colliver, 54), Nick Hague, Josh Scully,
Oli Ryan (Robbie Start, 62), Matt Thorpe (Luke Walker, 78), Michael Trench (c)
Subs not used: Jamie Smith, Sam Finlaw

Staveley man of the match: Jonathan Wafula

Attendance: 120
