BBFC vs Beck Row

After a promising run-in, Black Boy slipped to two defeats in the last two games with a comprehensive final day loss to Beck Row Res. Much improved since we drew with them at the beginning of the season, Beck Row started brightly and deservedly took away the three points after a clinical display against a disappointing BBFC.

The visitors started brightly with a youthful line-up while Black Boy were short of a few key players and again looked tired. Two goals before half time put Beck Row 2-0 up at the break with the BBFC looking uncharacteristically shaky and struggling to deal with the pace and power of the opposition frontman. This led to Graham Plummer shuffling his line-up with an early substitution in order to try and stem the Beck Row attacks.

The start to the second half was much brighter from The Mighty Boy with Carter and Carl Wager going close as we got more support to our front players. This left the game very stretched with both sides looking to hit each other on the break. The Boy pulled a goal back when Carter’s cross just evaded Graham at the back post and Charlie was able to centre for Chris Wager to swivel and fire home. This was the boost we needed but also an incentive for Beck Row as both sides pushed bodies forward. It was Beck Row who finished the game off though as they clinically took three chances in quick succession after defensive errors as the Boy went for broke.

While the magnitude of two defeats at the end of the season could be very costly for us, there is no doubt that if we evaluate the season on the whole, it has been the best ever in the club’s history. It might, just might, still lead to promotion.
