TADCASTER played out their second goalless draw in two days despite playing with 10-men less for over 50 minutes after Pete Davidson was dismissed in Saturday's Evo-Stik Division One North clash at Colne.

Following on from his heroic save on Thursday night, Albion keeper Michael Ingham continued his terrific form by making three outstanding stops to keep the Lancastrians at bay.

It was a controversial encounter and the first flashpoint came moments before half-time when Davidson was shown a straight red card for clicking the heels of Gary Stopforth to end a counter attack.

The Brewers dug in valiantly but were dealt another blow midway through the second half when Billy Whitehouse was wiped out in the penalty area only for both the referee and linesman to bat away the huge appeals.

Despite having a man advantage, the home side never really threatened in the second half and it was in fact Albion who looked the more likely to nick a winning goal with Casey Stewart and Whitehouse going close.

The Brewers had their backs against the walls as they struggled to get out of first gear in the first half.

Ingham was kept busy as he got down well to beat Harry Pratt’s effort away.

Stewart, who was being utilised as a fake nine with Savory needed in defence, looked lively but he lacked support.

Ingham showed his class when he twice denied the lively Oliver Crankshaw.

Taddy continued to plug away at the plucky Colne and they created their best chance of the half ten minutes from the break as Casey Stewart curled a delightful cross which Whitehouse could only guide wide of the mark.

However, the huge moment of controversy in the contest came four minutes from the half-time whistle.

Hakan Burton caught Chris Howarth’s clipped cross and set his side away on a dangerous counter attack. Gary Stopforth drove past the half-way line, travelling at some pace whilst being tracked by Davidson who clipped the heels of the Colne midfielder.

After a horde of gesticulation, referee Ian Walshaw reached into his back pocket and showed Davidson a straight red card much to the utter disbelief of the Tadcaster team and bench.

Annan went close to breaking the deadlock when he beat two men down the left-hand side but his effort was comfortably caught by Hakan Burton.

Michael Morton’s side were putting in one almighty shift in the second half with ten men and they were looking the more likely to open the scoring, but they had to settle for a hard-earned point.
