Great start of the pre-season from the badgers 🦡 today with plenty of positives, having a few new faces as well.
Credit must go to Harpole’s players that gave us a difficult game today. They were young and they were all over the place, harassing us with an aggressive pressing and putting on display a nice football but we were, arguably, the better team, our triangles based on a long possession worked for a good period of the game and it was enjoyable to watch.
We were quite composed in front of goal taking in consideration the heat and that it was 1st game of the season, scoring 4 nice goals.
What I really want to praise and provide a shout out for today, was our shape, we’ve kept our shape for the majority of the game which didn’t allow them much space or having many options and it allowed us to make the game easier.
We had more than 10 players missing and it was only our first game coming back but it’s giving us, for sure, something to work on and it helps towards the morale of the lads.
Goalscorers today were:
Giani Mario
Florin Mihai Lazar
Ovidiu Maracuța
Adrian Gheorghe
Together we aspire, together we achieve, badgers. 🦡
The ‘A’ Team also got their pre-season campaign underway as they welcomed Harpole to the Sett.
It was an encouraging performance from the Badgers who played some good football to run out comfortable winners.
Best of luck to Harpole for the new season.
