Belper 4 - Derwent 1
Scorers: Sarah Glen, Joe Roberts (2), Jon Hartley
Another beautiful but warm Autumn Saturday found our Badgerz boys and girls facing another local side, Derwent HC in a friendly at Wirksworth.
We fielded a young and keen side comprising Robert Taylor (GK), John Taylor, Joe Roberts, Tom Greening, Jon Hartley (Capt), Ben Young, Gemma Williams, Sarah Glen, Phoebe Collier and James Rogerson and all four family members Simon Dale, Liz Dale, Emily Dale and Oscar Dale, admirably supported, encouraged and organised by Ben Lamb. Belper Badgerz stepped up and twenty minutes into the first half Sarah scored the first goal, shortly followed by a goal mouth scramble making it evens at half time. Into the second and Joe Roberts on his debut for Badgerz scored twice in two minutes, with Jon Hartley concluding matters. Final score 4-1 to Belper. Man of the Match was awarded to Joe Roberts and in a close vote, Oscar Dale was Players Player.
Thanks to Derwent for a great 'friendly'.
