Beacon FC win the cup 5-0.

For the first season it is an amazing achievement. The Beacon football team came second in the league (by 1 point) and therefore gain promotion, were top scorers in all 4 divisions and won the cup final last night 5-0.
The cup final at Molesey FC was a great occasion with lots of very vocal and colourful support from a travelling band of Beaconites. Black and yellow was de rigeur - there was even a life-size bumble bee buzzing around.
After a typically nervy opening 15 minutes and a special save from Beacon 'keeper Shane, black and yellows hit a seam of gold with 2 goals in 10 minutes from Mat Loveday and Luke Smith followed by another just before half-time. 3-0 at the break and looking good value for another couple of goals. Sure enough Luke Smith scored another 2, making it 4 for the night and deservedly earning him Man of the Match.
Much credit goes to Mike Craig the manager, ably assisted by his wife Tina and the irrepressible Julia Smith - the team behind the team.
