Badgers 1- Green Island 1

Up at Forrester, against a very well organised and bloody uncompromising team in Green Island who are sitting second on the table the boys played possibly the best 90mins of football I’ve seen from a badger in a couple of years.

We took the lead mid way through the first half, on merit too it must be said. We went into the break 1-0 up and dominated that first half. Unfortunately they came back 1min into the second half to level the game. After that it was normal transmission resumed.

The back line was totally dominant, so it was a real shame that they managed to score in that nasty period at half time.

The midfield were competing, against, lets face it tough older buggers who don’t know how to pull out of a tackle, and the strikers were doing their part by playing defensively from their own half, that is putting pressure on their defenders. This gives the midfield time to get into position or come and help out, which of course draws them back. So they were setting up attacks from deep in their half instead of midfield every time.

Man of the Match was Darryl for his command of the defence, which to be fair to the boys was great. On the day I gave 1 point to everyone else, but in review, it’s only fair that Caleb got the 2nd point. You are having a very strong second half of the season, well done mate.

Everyone else a point, it was well worth it, and as I said possibly the best Bagders display in a couple of years.
