Beacon ‘A’ storm through to take the Handicap Trophy of 2008! (by Linda Thomson)
With the final 2 matches set to be tense and Beacon ‘A’ having to make up a huge deficit of goals, the players showed poise and determination to win.
Having already won beaten Chevron 19-7 and Hazlehead 17-16 as well as drawn 17 all against Westhill, the night was set to go down to the wire.
The first match was against old rival Beacon B!!
Although Beacon B ran out with a 10-3 start, Beacon quickly made up the difference, becoming eventual winners at 23-12.
The final match was set to be the crunch, against Newmachar 1. Beacon ‘A’ started 7 goals behind at 2-9. Slick passing, careful interceptions and sharp shooting from the circle edge pushed Beacon ‘A’ into a 21-15 win. Teamwork and control won the day.
