North London Tara FC-The Home of Great Football

8th May	Season Review 2006/07

Super Striker Noel Burke has won the clubs Golden Boot for the second successive season. Burkes tally of 11 goals from 21 appearances is down on last year but remains enough to clinch the award from Superhero Martin Murphy, who finishes with 10 from 15 games.
Stand-in Stopper Brian The Rizman O'Donnell has set a new club record for clean sheets. Brian managed 7 shut-outs from 25 games to over-take the record set last year by Mark Terry. Ever the gentleman, Rizza has gone out of his way to thank the defenders who have lined-up ahead of him.
The 200 or so people who attended the Middlesex Junior Trophy final at Harrow Borough Stadium is a new club attendance record, over-taking the previous record of 9 set last season at Northwick Park. Among those present was a 'working girl' who offered The Gaffer's dad a 'shine' in his Land Rover in exchange for a bullseye. For the record Pyscho Snr refused, preferring instead to watch the game.
Tim 'Tom' Cooney will remain as Club Captain for the season ahead. Tim has been advised not celebrate this honour in The Shawl.
Tara's win ratio in all competitions over the past 2 seasons now stands at 58%.
Tara had 14 different golascorers this season.
Paul Conlon at 33, is the oldest scorer in the history of the club.
Pat Keenan played in 12 different positions this year.
Super Spaniard Simon Iglesias and BIG Darren Maher have left the club. During their time Tara never finished beneath 3rd in the table and they will be sorely missed. Thanks to both.
Dr Daniel O'Halloran has been installed as an early bookies favourite for Players Player of the Year 06/07. The Gaffer will refuse to draw up a short-list for The Managers Player award, prefering instead to keep his cards close to chest.
Mark Murphy and Sean Clifford have emerged as joint favourites for The Young Player of The Year Award. Mark finally broke his duck this season with 2 excellent goals, while Sean saved his best performances for some of our biggest games -most notably Kings United and Hanwell away. Both have first class attitudes to the game. Given the fact that last years winner Martin Murphy has appeared to regress, emotionally at least, it is not thought he will feature this time round.
Scientists have revealed that the average Tara player is an Arsenal supporting white male of Irish descent, aged 27. The study also revealed the specimen to be a white collar worker, most likely to be in some form of accountancy or finance-related employment, who enjoys binge-drinking and throwing punches at weekends.
The average Tara 'WAG' is believed to be a size 10, who also enjoys binge-drinking and throwing punches at weekends.
Gavin O'Connor has won the Best Celebration Award for his reaction to his goal against KDA.
JP Ryan has been voted 'Attacker we would most like to face' by the goalies in Division 3.
Stephen O'Carroll, justifiably described by Dec as the most skillful player to have ever played for the club, has been voted Tara's sexist player by our female supporters group. To paraphrase Tara left-back James O'Leary, it is not known whether this award will be removed once they realise how small Steve is.
Former Favourite and Managers Player of the Year 05/06 Declan O'Mahoney has failed to reach The Gaffers target of 10 goals. Dec's tally of 7 strikes from 15 games nevertheless represents an excellent return, which sees The Mountain cement his place as the Clubs 3rd Highest Scorer of all time, behind Noel Burke and Adam Welch.
Larry Wrenn this season became the 2nd Tara player to have completed The London Marathon. The skillful and selfless midfielder raised an enourmous amount of money for charity on one of the hottest days of the year.
Sources have revealed that high level talks have taken place between NLT and BCFC regarding water rates and a 'prestige' friendly at Bisham Abbey this summer. Peace in our time.
