Raining Goals in Cannock

On Sunday 10 December, Beacon HC participated in a mini festival hosted by Cannock HC. We entered U8 and U12 sides and despite the rainy conditions ☔️, both teams chalked up some great goals and wins.

U8s: Reinforced with a couple of Lichfield players we racked up 3 victories and only one defeat, scoring 9 goals, with Charlotte getting 5 🤩 Lola practiced marking and finding space in midfield ⭐️, and Jamie was full of running in defence and also midfield (and still had some energy left at the end, you can spot him in the background of the U8 team photo 😁)

U12s: Great defensive work by Luke and Jonah, supported by U10 Connor 💪 Shout out to U10 Charles for being so adaptable and hardworking, playing both for us and Barford ⭐️ A brilliant team effort, everyone played their socks off and were so impressive, great passes and use of the whole pitch.
