Badgers Beaten By Racers’ Resurgence…
Townsend Meadow’s artificial surface of course
Assured Bugbrooke St Michaels of a fruitful
Journey to Warwick for this UCL game
And despite a promising opening surge
By the Racers, the visiting Badgers asserted
Themselves to overturn an early deficit and earn
A 1-2 interval advantage, courtesy of Stewart’s brace…
However, after the recess, no doubt an awkward pause
For Warwick, Shearer quickly doubled his tally, an artful
Shot beating the oft wandering goalie, Reeve by name.
And despite his stubborn resolve to purge
The Racers’ rampant attack, luck deserted
The ‘keeper as the tide took a dramatic and disastrous turn
And the Badgers were penetrated, unable to save face…
The turnaround complete, Racer Hancocks’ voice hoarse,
An unlikely but deserved 8-2 victory would pull
Warwick to the top of the league, their waning flame
Ignited by a second period resurgence, an irresistible urge
To penetrate their guests with ruthless, concerted
Attacking with speed and guile. And despite Bugbrooke’s stern
Defending, by the end they looked dispirited and well off the pace…
