Rovers uplifted by promotion news

		Last season's success has lead Beacon Hill's adult teams to face new challenges in 2010 / 2011. Most notably, the Reserves gain promotion to Division 3 of the Mid Essex League and the Thirds rise to Division 4, while the First team maintain their status in the League's Premier Division and the Ladies step up to the top Essex tier. The Reserves' (pictured) achievement moves them up with last season's rivals White Hart and Felsted Rovers, accompanied by St.Clere's Reserves, who last year battled it out with the Thirds in Division 5. Braintree and Bocking, Frenford Senior B and Byfleet Rangers will be familiar opponents, having met all three in Division 4 back in 2008 / 2009. Beacon will be confident of a strong showing in Division 3 this term after completing a double over White Hart in the league and defeating the now Division 1 side Writtle Manor and Premier Division new boys St. Clere's as they went on to triumph in the County Trophy last season. The Thirds meanwhile, accompany Silver End United into Division 4, setting a new standard for Beacon Hill's tertiary adult side. Beacon will recognise Tillingham Hotspur and Durning from 2008 / 2009 and most notably Great Baddow Reserves - having met in the Division 5 League Cup final of 2009 and in this year's Burnham Charity Cup final. Trips out to new faces Basildon Athletic and Rayleigh Boys Reserves will break new ground but after their excellent end-of-season performances and the inclusion of some fresh faces, particularly new graduates from the academy, Beacon's A team will be looking forward facing their toughest challenge with confidence. After a frustrating campaign last time out, the First team will be looking to tap into the undoubted potential of their squad and make a strong challenge in the Premier Division this season which marks their 12th consecutive year in the Mid Essex top flight. Fresh opportunities arrive due to the promotions of Great Baddow and the aforementioned St. Clere's, as Beacon look to turn their closely contested narrow defeats from last season into positive results. The Ladies have also been given a fresh challenge as they enter the newly formed Premier Division of the Essex County Women's League. Having beaten the three teams promoted with them and won against top flight opposition last season, the Ladies will offer a stern test to the likes of Witham Town and Southend United in the coming year.

		Stimson and Page see double as Carter tops honours

Jun 5: Five Lakes Country Club was the auspicious venue for Beacon Hill's 2010 end of season dinner and the night did not disappoint. Among the recipients of the season's awards were first team players David Heward and Jon Yabsley. Adam Ratcliffe's fine debut season and James Lewis' goal tally earned them the Reserve team gongs. Another debutant, John Scott, received third team honours while Amy Tuscher deservedly added to her trophy cabinet. Emma Page and Tom Stimson had to step up twice as they both took home a brace of trophies. Stimson walked away with Young Player of the Year and Third Team Players' Player after a superb season that ended with regular appearances for the First Team. The biggest applause however was reserved for the recipient of the Joe Cousins Clubman of the Year Award. Club Secretary and Reserve Team Manager Steve Carter (pictured) was rightly given a huge ovation for his efforts this season, which included guiding the Reserves as they won the prestigious Essex County Junior Trophy. Check out the winners' photos on the 'season awards' page:

		Ladies retain European trophy

During this year's end of season tour, Beacon Hill's Ladies team won the Holland Stores F & SC ODP Toernooi competition in Amsterdam for the second year in succession. Opponents included a tricky Niemand side and TZVW from Bremstraat, but it was a last minute winner against a strong Nat maar gelukkig team that effectively secured the trophy. Gerrit Hinderink, the Toernooicommissie (tournament organiser) praised their performance after the game as he said, "Resst mij U allen een gezellig en hopelijk zonnig ODP toernooi te wensen". Representatives from the men's teams joined the ladies in The Netherlands' capital with an eclectic mix of players. For the first time in Beacon's tour history, the men entered two tournaments - an eleven aside competition on arrival and a six aside the following day. With only one loss from nine games over the weekend, the men (augmented by some superb ladies players) left a positive mark on the "Venice of the North" once more.
