Jubilee Season Kicks-Off with 4 Points....06/09/2026

First Team - Division 1

Taverners 2, Claydon Ath. 2

We began our opening match brightly and, within two minutes, a muddle deep in the Claydon defence was neatly punished by Perrie Soanes to open the scoring.

Only a few minutes later, a deep cross from Jack Larkins found a blind-side run from James Storey to head home for 2-0.

As the half continued, we looked generally in control but without managing to create clear-cut chances.

An own goal immediately before half time showed how fragile a two goal lead can be and – with injuries unsettling our rhythm – the Tavs were forced onto the defensive.

Claydon equalised midway through the half and, at that point, looked odds-on winners as we were unable to retain possession.

However, our back four of (skipper) Jimmy Fulker, Dan Ndulagwa, Ben Fitch and Jack Larkins were superb in the face of heavy pressure while, behind them, goalkeeper Adam Bloomfield made several good saves.

We were, at the end, grateful to have held onto a point although we might have won the game in the dying minutes as Ollie Bradshaw broke through only to be brought down by a late challenge which cost the Claydon a red card.

Team: Bloomfield, Fitch, Fulker, Ndulagwa, Larkins, Lytess, Primus, Bradshaw(Ransom), Nestor, Soanes(Lambert C.), Storey.

Goals: Soanes, Storey
