A feisty match ends in the first defeat of the season for the Badgers.

The Badgers made their way into the Badger Sett to see the oppostion already warming up, complete with club warm up T-shirts and an array of cones, someone also seen an opposition player enter the changing room wearing Beats By Dre headphones with motivational music. While the Badgers grouped round and had a bit of banter before smashing balls at Goals Millard.
The match started and the Badgers conceded in the first 30 seconds of the match, without touching the ball, after a cross was put into the box which found an unmarked oppostion forward who managed to help the ball towards the six yard line to another unmarked forward who scuffed the ball enough for it to roll across the line. Badgers looking around confused. 0-1.
The Badgers lacked legs in the final third and struggled to create chances, and found themselves two goals down when a corner was swung in and an opposition midfielder, the smallest player on the pitch headed towards the far corner and into the net, with Badger manager The Boontown Rat insisting Kerry Dite should of cleared the ball off the line.
The match turned sour after a reckless tackle from the very small and angry oppostion player in their midfield on Chafe Roberts, which excited a few players on both teams into a brief verbal melee, with an oppostion supporter who resembled Harold Shipman shouting incomprehensible words on the line. This incident set the tone for the rest of the match.
The second half was a competitive and tight affair, with the Badgers again unable to create any meaningful chances.
Some heavy tackles from both teams were going in, with the referee giving both teams a warning.
Wingnut won a free kick in a dangerous position around 25 yards out, but his feeble effort trickled into the hands of the oppostion goalkeeper.
A few moments later Kerry Dite floated a free kick into the box towards Vag Oppery, but Vag downward header went inches wide of the post.
The oppostion had various good chances through the second half, but poor finishing and a couple of saves from Goals Millard kept them at bay.
The Badgers won another free kick in a promising position around 25 yards out, which Badger left back Kerry Dite demanded to take, but his left footed effort curled high and wide and into the bushes of the Old Reds field behind the goal, to cues of laughter from fellow Badgers.
An oppostion forward chased down a bouncing ball one v one with Goals Millard, but Goals was able to get to the ball first with the player bouncing off Goals and onto the floor, with oppostion management trying to claim a penalty. A brief pause in play while the player was checked for head injury.
Wingnut was played through and managed to get goal side of a large cart horse of a central defender, who then grabbed hold of Wingnuts shirt preventing him from running through on goal and attempting a shot. The referee blew the whistle, and in the Corinthian spirit the cart horse was subsequently substituted and replaced instead of being sent off.
The Boontown Rat made his way onto the pitch for the final ten minutes, replacing his brother Sam. The Rat received a rousing reception from Badger players and one fan in the Rob Phillips Terrace, Richard Pub Snacks Lucas. Cries of “Dalglish” and “Go on Rat” echoed throughout the Badger Sett.
The oppostion extended their lead towards the end of the match when they found space down the left side, a cross was put into the box to the far post and the ball was struck into the net by an unmarked forward. 0-3.
