Rick Addy is pleased with the progress that Yorkshire Amateur have made recently
Rick Addy is delighted with Yorkshire Amateur’s recent displays that yielded six wins out of eight games in September.
The Ammers joint manager told Non League Yorkshire last month that he would probably assess his side’s start to the Toolstation NCEL Division One season.
The heavy defeat at Hemsworth Miners Welfare has been their only major blip recently, but the Ammers only had eleven players available and two of them were injured.
“We are on our eleventh game and we are tenth and if we win our game in hand we’ll go to seventh,” said Addy, who is joint manager with Phil Harding.
“After ten games we could have gone fifth with our game in hand and that’s probably above where I thought we might be.
“We have changed our system and the lads have adapted to it really well.
“Things are better than what they were when I last spoke to you. They have played some great football in those four games when we scored 18 and conceded four.
“We have played with a high tempo and lots of energy.”
The Leeds-based side are heading to Rossington Main tomorrow and Addy does expect to have five players back.
That includes Carl Heard, Joel Hughes, Tom Marsden, Glenn Wood and captain Daniel Freeman. Dan Sherrife remains suspended
Striker Craig Heard is not expected to be ready to return.
Addy also agreed with the view that the Ammers are a hard team to beat and he added: “I’d like to think people’s opinions about the club have changed.
“I think we are one of the top ten teams in the league and one which is pushing for the top six.
“Two years people won’t have said that. We’re going in the right direction.”
