TADCASTER Albion continue their preparations for the new season tomorrow evening when they welcome Leeds United to the i2i Stadium (7.30pm).

This time last year saw the Whites field several first-teamers – including Marco Silvestri, Liam Cooper, Souleymane Doukara, Mirco Antenucci and Billy Sharp – in the corresponding friendly.

That fixture with the Championship side drew in an outstanding gate of more than 1,000 as United combined some of their established stars with the club's finest Under-21s talent.

Taddy will be aiming to make it three wins from three in pre-season matches following last week's 4-3 victory over Pickering Town.

With manager Billy Miller away, assistant boss Matt Heath and statistician Richard Lawrence took charge.

The duo made five changes to the side that saw off Hemsworth in their previous summer outing, with Jason Mycoe and four trialists all starting the match.

It was the Pikes that struck first in the 13th minute, though, with former Brewer Calum Ward dinking over the advancing trialist goalkeeper after Joe Danby had threaded it through.

However, the Brewers levelled the match in the 31st minute when Pickering failed to clear Jonathan Greening’s corner on two occasions, allowing Andy Milne to stab goalwards.

As it was about to cross the line Conor Sellars made completely sure it was going in anyway.

Taddy took the lead three minutes before the break as one of their trialists powerfully headed in a Greening corner.

Thirteen minutes into the second half and Tad were 3-1 up. It took Josh Greening approximately 14 seconds to start an attack leading to a goal and Adam Baker was on-hand at the back post to finish off a fine move.

The home side dug in and pulled one back with just over ten minutes remaining, former York City man Ben Hirst emphatically bending into the far corner to make it 3-2.

The Brewers restored their two-goal cushion with five to play after Josh Greening surged in on goal and unselfishly rolled the ball past Lawrie to the grateful Adam Baker who tapped in his second of the game.

The goals weren’t quite finished there though, as once again Hirst netted to make the final score 4-3.
