Beacon 15 - Reigate 0

The year 7 girls recorded their biggest win of the season so far away at Reigate. Despite the drizzly conditions The Beacon were sharp and accurate in their passing and defence. Phoebe and Leila's shooting was outstanding throughout and the girls racked up the goals. The whole team played well defensively to keep a clean sheet and thoroughly deserved to win.  Player of the match was Leila. 

The year 11 football team marched on in the Surrey Cup thanks to a hard fought 2-0 victory over Greenshaw. The game started with Greenshaw slightly on top and creating a couple of chances but none to worry Ryan in goal. A few back to back injuries for Beacon meant we changed positions of players which actually allowed us to gain control of key areas of the pitch that Greenshaw had dominated at the start and also launch our own attacks. At half time it was an even 0-0.

The threat of Jamie's long throw was evident in the first half so at half time a strategy was formed. It was not long before this paid off as Jack's flick at the near post meant the ball dropped nicely for George to spectacularly overhead kick the ball to loop over the goalkeeper to make it 1-0 Beacon; cue Beacon celebrations. A real combative performance from both sides meant it was close until the end when Jacob was put through on goal to make it 2-0 and game over.

Beacon now face Glyn or Carshalton Boys in the next round!

The year 8 girls Netball team travelled to Woldingham school on Tuesday 7th December to play in their league fixture. Despite the long journey and the late start, the girls played exceptionally well and represented the Beacon school well. Unfortunately they lost but made good progress with their communication and movement as a team. The player of the match selected by Woldingham School was Gea - thoroughly deserved. Well done ladies!

The girls travelled away to Carrington for their second fixture in 7 days. The match was very close from the off with both teams battling for every ball. The Beacon trailed by one goal going into the second quarter but came out fast with Sofia scoring the equaliser. The match was end to end but The Beacon managed to go into the half time break one goal up. Great defending in the third quarter by Daisy and Loulou allowed the girls to keep their lead going into the final quarter. As the light faded Carrington started to find their rhythm and scored a last minute goal to end the game with a draw. The final score was 5-5. Congratulations to Shaylyn who received player of the match.

The girls travelled away to Carrington for their second away fixture of the season. Both teams were evenly matched with the score going into the first half break all square at 0-0. Both teams started to find their rhythm as time went on but there was still nothing to separate the two sides with the score 2-2 at then end of the second half, everything was still to play for. As the light faded The Beacon started to tire and Carrington went into the lead. The final score was 6-3. Well played to all girls who showed fantastic resilience until the final whistle. Congratulations to Imogen who received girl of the game.

Y8 travelled to Reigate School for their first away game of the season. The girls made a fantastic start with goals from Shaylyn and Aaliyah the first half finished 4-3 to Beacon. However, as time went on Reigate started to find their rhythm and their goals were had to stop. Reigate had gained a 7 point lead by the end of the second half. The girls showed resilience and kept fighting until the final whistle but it unfortunately wasn’t enough. Well played to all the girls involved and we look forward to our next game against Carrington. Well done to Shaylyn who received player of the match.

The year 9 boys were back in action two days in a row with a league match vs Reigate. The boys got off to a slow start and after an un-characteristically sloppy first half, went in 1-0 down. The second half was the polar opposite and the boys crisp passing and fine movement unlocked the Reigate defence time and time again. It finished 4-1 thanks to goals from Harry, Joe and another 2 from Finn. MOM was Finn for a superb attacking performance in the 2nd half. 

Year 7 v Cheam High School

The year 7 team played against Cheam High this week in a Surrey cup game. This was a hard draw for Beacon with Cheam High being a very strong side.

With the majority of the game being back and forth both teams demonstrated an incredible defensive performance. Half time came around with the game still being 0-0.

The start of the second half was all Beacon ball with an incredible attempt on goal by George which just flew over the bar. With both teams tiring Beacon made one last push. A perfect through ball from Oscar allowed George to place the ball in the bottom corner making the game 1-0.

The last play of the game Cheam had a shot on goal but was stopped with an incredible save by Harry. Great performance in goal by both Austin and Harry.

We look forward to the next round of the Surrey Cup.

Beacon 0 - 2 Ashcombe

The Beacon crashed out the Surrey Cup despite a rousing second half performance against a very good Ashcombe side. The Beacon went 2-0 down early on and despite throwing everything at the Ashcombe goal could not get back on terms. Their keeper made one excellent save from Joe and Tom shaved the bar with a header. MOM was Charlie E for his dominant display in centre midfield. He did not deserve to be on the losing team. 

Year 7 travelled to their first away fixture of the season last week to play Oxted. The girls got off to a fast start scoring 4 goals to 0 in the first quarter. The girls continued their winning streak by stretching out their lead to 11 points to 0 by the end of the final whistle. Well played to all girls involved!

Year 9 joined the Year 7's in travelling away for the first time this season against Oxted. The game was end to end with one point separating the teams at the end of the first quarter. Fantastic passing from Izzy and Attiya caught Oxted off guard and resulted in the girls taking the lead for the first time at the end of the second half. The girls battled well with some great interceptions from Petra and Emma to stop Oxted from scoring. However, as the light faded Oxted found a second wind and in the closing minutes of play scored some late goals to end the match 11 – 8. Well done to all girls involved it was a fantastic end to end match. Well played to Attiya who received player of the match.

Y7 and 8 cross country teams were back in action last week, this time to race the fastest girls in the Banstead and Reigate District. The girls had to navigate a tough hill at the start of the race, followed by a  large lap of the lake. Congratulations to Vella who finished 10^th in the Y7 race, our highest girls finisher of the day and will process onto the next round of the Surrey Schools Championships. Well done to all girls involved and thankyou to Lillyella for helping score at the finish line. Both teams finished a respectable 9^th out of all the schools in the district.

Year 7 Football vs Oxted

The year 7 football team played Oxted School in a District Cup/league Game. With this being the team’s first game together they started off strong. Every member of the team communicated well with Sonny Butcher controlling the defence. After an accurate pass from Beau Reive, Callum McDonagh placed the ball in the back of the net with a superb strike. This quickly followed by another goal from Callum making the game 2-0.  

Two more goals quickly followed by George Slatter and Oscar Sergant. With an incredible start to the game the team finished the half 4-0.

As the second half started, Oxted School made a comeback with two quick goals bringing the game to 4-2. However, The Beacon heads didn’t drop and from an amazing shot from the half way line Beau managed to lob the keeper taking the game to 5-2. With the game coming to an end, The Beacon were still attacking and with two more goals from Calum Ratcliffe we finished the game 7-2.

An outstanding performance from the Year 7 Beacon team and a great start to the league/District Cup competition.

The year 10 football team drew rivals Glyn in the Surrey cup. The game started well with Beacon putting Glyn under pressure by performing a high pressure game; Glyn did not have time to settle. Around half way through the first half Beacon had chances but so did Glyn with James pulling off some wonderful saves to keep it at 0-0 at half time.

The second half got underway and the game opened up. Glyn took advantage of a long ball through to take the lead 1-0. Whilst Beacon searched for an equaliser it was not to come as Glyn scored a second and third goal in the closing minutes of the game to win 3-0. A fantastic performance from year 10 boys against a very good Glyn side.

MOM- James

Year 9 Football - vs Oxted 

Beacon 2 - 1 Oxted

The year 9 team travelled to Oxted for their second game of the season. It was a closely fought game against a very well organised Oxted side. Both teams took time to adjust to the speed of the surface and The Beacon struggled to get control of the game. Just before half time Finn put Beacon 1-0 up with a superb volley from distance that sneaked into the corner. The Beacon played much better in the second half and had lots of chances to extend their lead. Eventually Joe seized onto a through ball and was clear on goal when he was hacked down by the Oxted centre back. The referee pointed straight to the spot. Finn stepped up and rolled in calmly into the bottom corner, sending the keep the other way. Oxted scored late on, but it was too little too late and The Beacon held on for a 2-1 win. 

Man of the Match went to Mo for his excellent defensive display in central midfield. Special mention to Finn for his two goals, and Joe for his work-rate all game as the lone striker. 

The year 8 football team played Merstham Park in a league match. The team had a great start to the game with a dominant performance. This quickly followed with a great goal from a cross to make the game 1-0.

The Beacon continued to work hard and were staying strong in defence. Another cross into the box was met with a great header to make it 2-0. This was followed by numerous attacks against Merstham which all resulted in a goal. At half time the score was 5-0 to Beacon.  

The start of the second half, The Beacon carried on their attack with a dominant performance. The game ended 7-0.  

An excellent performance from the Year 8 Team.  

Y7 Girls Netball

The Beacon v Warlingham 11 – 0

The Y7 girls had their first netball match last week against a traveling Warlingham team. The girls made a fantastic start scoring four goals in the first quarter. After the first quarter the girls never looked back. Rejoice made some great interceptions and blocks to keep the visitors goalless. Leah and Imogen worked well together moving the ball quickly from one end of the court, to the other giving our shooters the best opportunity to increase the lead. The girls played exceptionally well as a team and made the most of their possession with the ball.  Well done all!
