On a dry and pleasant autumnal day it was a real joy to watch the Pippins produce a marvellous display of pass and move hockey to totally dominate this Badgers match.
From the start a sense of positive ambition and a teamwork ethic quickly generated opportunities as the ball was moved effectively between different players. There was no relenting in this determination and sense of authority throughout the match.
With Cameron Palmer and Tom Scotson having the confidence to lead from a high line this gave the midfield space and time to pick the right pass as demonstrated by Luke Bowerman setting up a couple of goals.
The Bromsgrove team deserve tremendous credit for never giving up, always competing and continually seeking the ball – staying true to the Badgers spirit.
