Pre-Christmas the team secured a 1-1 draw against Tadcaster.
Due to improved play since then they were wanting and expecting a win to keep them out of the relegation zone.
A very short pitch warm up due to the previous game being a late starter and who would believe within minutes a breakaway goal! But not for Driffield.
Certainly a wake up call though and a battle to commence. Tadcaster did keep breaking through but it was Driffield who had a run of short corners in the first half, none of which could be converted though to get the score level.
There was still some good play, especially down the right side but Tadcaster did defend well and Driffield just not strong enough to get shots on goal. The team was a little flat, but held onto the 0 -1 at half time.
The second half was just as frustrating and Driffield’s team effort did rise, it wasn’t enough to gain sufficient momentum to produce any much needed goals.
Driffield did show some good movement of the ball but as Tadcaster weakened they were conscious of the previous game’s result and holding the ball well to use up time.
Really a game chased by Driffield from the off and the final score 0 -1.
