Micks Column
Will start this review with the positives in that we attained a top five finish the highest position beccles have achieved for many years we also had the divisions best home record winning twelve drawing one and only losing two off our fifteen home games, we failed at the first hurdle in the defence of the county cup but did reach the semis off the mummery cup, so we have had a far better season than most, the down side is we could have maybe achieved more with a little bit more commitment, training floundered and eventually had to be halted due to lack off numbers, player availability caused many team changes and subsequently results faultered. There were some great performances this season but the 7-2 cup win at brandon stands out, brandon is a difficult place to go and on the day, martin, barnard and holmes were superb in taking the game to brandon. We won quite a few games by the odd goal showing steely resolve at times to see out the games. At other times however we folded to easily and suffered heavy defeats there were also some games we seemed to be disinterested in and as such points were lost which proved costly. Next season is a pivotal season for the club as we have in the last three seasons gone from 11th to 9th to 5th in the last two we have played in three semi finals and two finals so we have to keep going forward, this can only be done with hard work and commitment and a good turn out at pre season training is a must. Also a big thanks to those who support the club and those who keep it running at times a thankless task but so vital.
Cheers Mick
