Bec Yellow Sunday
This weekend saw all of our teams play at Whitgift School, with Bec 1 up against KV, Bec 2 facing Highbury 1, Bec 5 taking on Croydon 5 and even a Bec 3 vs Bec 4 clash! Below is a short report on each team...
Bec 1 looked to assert their dominance in the National League with a win over KV. The game got off to a slow start and was interrupted with injuries throughout, however, Bec 1 to establish their rhythm and generate some impressive goals. Victory for Bec was never in doubt as the team were clinical in their finishing and managed to shut down the opposition’s attack with some solid defence. Coaches John and Graham utilised the whole squad with Chloe and Jess making an appearance! The strength and depth of the squad was impressive and the team will continue to improve in the build up to the Europa Shield.

Bec 3 coach Ben King had this to say about the game: “It’s always tough to play against a team from your own club and we never quite found our rhythm. However, we did manage to create a lot of opportunities and I have no doubt that in future matches will convert more into goals. Overall, it was just great to see so many players donning the golden shirts of Bec on this Yellow Sunday!”

Juniors
A Bec Yellow Sunday wouldn't be complete without getting our BecBee's involved, so midway during the day our juniors came down to support and play with our seniors. The hour started with mono-korf games with a mix of both juniors and seniors where our youngsters were able to show all the things they have learnt, including a 'no-look' pass from Charlie. The whole club then got involved in a game of terminator with Lola finishing in the top 3. More games were played with great goals from Josh, with one almost being a running in shot. To finish the hour we played a junior favourite of naughts and crosses. where Felix showed the seniors how to play. Overall, both the juniors and seniors enjoyed it and we look forward to continuing to integrate both our juniors and seniors.
