Juniors Enjoy Mega Festival in Newport

On Sunday 16 March 2025, Beacon HC entered U8, U10 and U12 teams in a "mini festival" tournament hosted at Wrekin College by Newport HC.

It was a huge event with up to 12 teams in each age group from all over Staffordshire and Shropshire taking part, so it was very useful for us to play some unfamiliar teams.

The U8s won 3 of their 6 games, with Zayden netting 6 times, supplemented by goals from loan players Will (1) and Spencer (2). Well done to the rest of the team also, including Jude, Diana, Hayden and Cayden for working hard and trying their best through 6 straight games 😅!

The U10s won 2 and drew 1 of their 6 games, with Zyon (4) and U8 Zayden (2) getting on the scoresheet. It was encouraging to see the players growing in match confidence and developing their hockey skillset by playing in different positions.

The U12 team won 3 and drew 2 of their 6 games, netting 8 goals and conceding 2. Top scorer was Drew with 4 (in the same match!), followed by Charles (2), Zyon and Sean. The best result was a tight, disciplined 1-0 win in the last game against a talented Barton side.

Thanks also to the teams that lent us players, including NStaffs, Newport and Bloxwich!

Big thanks also to coaches/umpires Linnie, Stu, Matt and Gary, and Chris and Stephen for the photos (published in a later article), the players and their parents for supporting the event, and also to Newport HC for the organising such a big event for children across two counties.
