Fixtures & Results
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!
