Beacon FC


For nearly 40 years of my life Saturday afternoon has meant football. Today was no exception - except that I was not playing (my knee will keep out for the rest of the season). I went to watch Beacon FC in a league match away to Woking. Two other Landreth-Smiths were playing. The team is made up of lads who come to church and some who don't. Although it was a tight match Beacon FC came away as 2-0 winners which means they remain unbeaten so far this season. There is still a long way to go but for a new, young side in their first season together it has been a remarkable debut, largely due to the inspirational coach Mike Craig (formerly Youth & Community Officer at Ipswich Town FC).
