Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to see the Badgers win away. A crowd of 12 watched on as Bow Badgers remained unbeaten in 2012. Badgers started well but a little nervously and despite having most of the possession and territory were twice caught on the counter attack by little number 10. 2-0 Spartans. They pulled one back when Leonard flicked Brook's free kick into the path of Oscar Dan who then headed the ball into Dwayne range. Bosh 1-2. The half-time score was 2-2 after Richards fought to keep the ball in the box after a Badgers attacking corner. He found Eaton who was felled. Penalty Ref! Luckily, Roggenbaum was not on the pitch so Eaton stepped up. The strike was cleanish and found the bottom corner. "No pressure" he yelled, "no pressure blud" http://bowbadgers.spreadshirt.co.uk/penalty-A18662977/customize/color/5. All was to play for and the Badgers showed what they were made of. The defence kept their concentration and contained the Spartans while the attack put the ball in the back of the net three unanswered times. Dan and Leonard scored from close range. Their efforts sandwiched a bullet header from Woodcock. 5-2 Badgers. A silly goal from a corner gave Spartans hope. Porte did his best Eaton impression as he screamed in pain. However, it was to be the Badgers' day as Jones added a sixth, sweetly struck across the keeper in to the right hand corner.
