After a strong start to the season the Badgers went to The Big Field having suffered 2 consecutive defeats. Brockham started brightly but soon found themselves going behind to a well finished Saxon’s goal. Brockham had their chances but didn’t manage to take them with Conan Torpey shooting just wide and Joe Rabbetts hitting the side netting.
Brockham continued to apply pressure with a well worked cross by Joe Rabbetts finding the head of Sam Church, but still the Black and Whites couldn’t find the net. Against the run of play Brockham conceded again and it looked like it was going to be one of those days for The Badgers. However, during the second half the home team continued to play the better football. Sam Church managed to get a cross to Ed Russ on the edge of the Saxon’s penalty area, who confidently fired in to the bottom corner , 1-2. A ball by Russ into the Saxon’s goal mouth created panic and a Saxon’s defender conceded an own goal. Brockham were beginning to create more chances and could have had a winner near the end but failed to take their chances. Brockham remain 4th in the division but they are going to have to find their early season form if they are going to remain or improve upon that.
Man of the match – Joe Rabbetts
