With a 150 000 strong crowd and two teams at their peak, a thrilling match is narrowly won by the Badgers, in a game that is often described as “ the best ever”.
The London Chronicle is credited with penning this verse after the Badgers had handed a particularly ferocious beating to the local team at Hurlington, resulting in the hospitalisation of three of their players and the death of the referee. “Remove your boots and stow your pride The Badgers are out, they came to ride Unsaddle your horse and away your mallet Swig that drink to settle your palate I’ve told you once and I’ve told you twice The Badgers are out, run for your life Aggressive, impressive, fearless and brave You ride against them, you ride to your grave”.
