Midfield 4 Bow Badgers 0

20 minutes before the game and still no sign of Oscar. Badgerette Kat is busily making a replica of Badgers' mascot Badger who is in Bow. Oscar arrives and after putting on his soccer uniform he joins the warm up at the all important ankle stage. I'm Chris's dad! And you are going to win says an enthused fan who takes over the pre match team talk. COYB! Barnaby Griffin smokes a menthol as Simon Woolfman practices his toss. "heads" he shouts as the imaginary coin falls with the tail side facing up. Richards mentions the war in an effort to motivate. Nate notices that he has his shorts on inside out so quickly removes them to rectify. With one leg back in "peep peep" the game starts. Nate panics and falls over bit somehow makes a tackle. The referee however is a stickler for the rules and pulls out the yellow card. Badgers start well as usual and force two corners but fail to trouble the scorers. Midfield Hackney then have a corner of their own. Steve Brook's clearing header hits Read on the back and after 7 minutes of penalty area pinball Chris Woodcock finally clears. 0-0 at half-time after a dull first half. Defence has to share a pear after Natasha Silverman spends orange budget on strawberries and cream. Goal Goal Goal! Straight from kick off a long ball from Stone finds Nate and he puts the Badgers ahead. A sweet finish #kingofromford. Nate is sent off. After removing his shorts for the first yellow he sees red after a second for removing his shirt in celebration #wally. Chance - daly, daly, daly, daly but wide. A move very similar to sweden circa 1992. Can the Badgers hold on? Barnaldo with a football computer game type run. He reaches the half way line but is ushered back by team kitten. Still 1-0. 10 minutes to go! The seconds are slowly ticking by. Richards is blowing out his arse and Eaton faints from exhaustion like a big girls blouse. Oh no! A mistimed lunge from Simon Woolfman. Penalty! No no. Eaton gets his whine on. But Barnaldo saves and the ref blows the final whistle. The Gareth southgate badger stand is on it's feet. Well played Badgers.
