Tadcaster Albion comfortably eased to a 4-0 victory over Nostell Miners Welfare in the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division.
Three first half goals courtesy of Liam Ormsby, Jimmy Beadle and Matt Heath all but sealed the three points which were never in doubt after a dominant display from minute one to minute 94.
It could have been as many as you like in the second half if Tad were more ruthless but they just added another one to make it 4-0 with Ormsby scoring his second from the penalty spot.
It was evident from the outset that Nostell had a huge task on their hands as Taddy dominated the play.
The Brewers’ first effort at goal came in the 9th minute as Josh Greening whipped a free-kick up and over the wall but just over the mark.
It wasn’t long before the Taddy faithful got to cheer a goal as Ormsby curled in a sweet free-kick into the top left hand corner, Nostell goalkeeper Edward Hall appeared to have been wrong-footed.
Top goal scorer Jimmy Beadle found the net again from range in the 38th minute.
Just to rub salt into Nostell’s ever growing wounds, The Brewers made it 3-0 right on the stroke of half-time. A Tad corner was cleared by the visitors in the first instance but then they handed it onto a plate as a weak pass allowed Nick Black to beat Max Elliott to the ball and the striker then unselfishly squared it to centre-back Heath who was still up from the corner, had the simple task of rolling the ball into the empty net.
Goal number four arrived soon after the interval and it came from the penalty spot. Black led the line tremendously for The Brewers with tireless amounts of runs down the channels and this run in particular turned out to be worthwhile as his strength, pace and power allowed him to get the better of Franck Zalo and the Nostell defender bundled him to the ground leaving referee David Storrie no choice whatsoever.
With number one penalty taker Ormsby back from injury, it was down to him to dispatch the spot kick and this he did slotting in the bottom right corner sending Edward Hall the wrong way.
With The Brewers cruising to victory, Ormsby then nearly completed a hat-trick of set-piece goals as his free-kick from the left-hand side was just pushed away by the Nostell stopper who can’t have enjoyed his afternoon.
