On a return fixture, the Badgers faced a consistently strong Leek team at home, having gone down 10-0 away earlier in the season. The Badgers pressured from the start, spending most of the first half in Leek's half of the pitch, but Leek matched our midfield of Tom, Kai and Ryan and absorbed the attacks. In a stroke of good fortune, Kai drove the ball into the D, nicked the keeper, 1-0 at half time. The tables turned in the second half with Leek moving up the field. The Badgers responded to the pressure with heroic efforts from the back line of Jack, Ben, Adam and Luke in goal. After numerous shorts, Leek remained unsuccessful and the Badgers were able to break creating an array of shots on goal from Sam, Callum and Tom from midfield. Another period of sustained pressure from Leek and the game ended 1-0, a fortuitous, but deserved win. Ben was awarded man of the match.
