                                                     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”.
