PRESENTATION DAY 2011

The annual Beacon Hill Football Sub Junior & Junior Mixed & Girls' presentation day was held on Saturday October 15 at the Multi Purpose Hall of BH Public School.

With over 500 players attending the day the BHFC Committee and volunteers were kept very busy! As the sun shone, the medallions and trophies were presented to the players and the sausages BBQ to perfection!

The U13/3A team has had a season that most can only dream about. The boys went through the season undefeated. Come the semi final they played on a field that was a bog & won on corner kicks in extra time to make the final.

So on to the final & Coach Damian had the boys really fired up ready for the big day. The Beacon Boys came out from the whistle on fire & in the end came home with a hard worked 2 – 1 win.


All of the boys played very well, but man of the match was Captain Cameron Brown who showed great direction in the midfield.

The team's players are: David Adams, Christian Bonacci, Cameron Brown, Doug Chalmers, Callum Denmead, Ben Howarth, Tyler Jarvis, Brandon Koolloos, Stephen Melani, Adib Memari, Beau Shaw, Matthew Sussanna and Adam Warriner with Coach Damian Koolloos.

Winning the final capped off a sensational year for the Beacon Boys.

With so much rain this season the young 35's ladies decided to have a kick around at Beacon Hill Hall to burn some energy.

Thank you Beacon Hill 35/1, 35/2, Fairmaidens, BTH and Manly Allambie on making Sunday morning a very enjoyable get together.


Hubert still managed to issue a Red card to the photographer for time wasting...

Last Saturday morning (2nd July) at Seaforth Oval the 16/3’s grabbed their own moment in history when James Cirera banged home his team's first goal of the season.

In what is believed to be the longest goal drought in the club's junior team history, the boys had played 610 minutes of football without troubling the scorer before Daniel Batkin, Tom Cains and James combined to put the 16/3's on the board for the first time in their 2011 season.

On Saturday Night, Beacon Hill Football Club held its annual Trivia Night and it was a great success. There was much dancing on tables, singing, kicking goals in high heels and paper airplanes that didn't go anywhere. Oh and we answered a few trivia questions too!!!!

In all, the participants managed to raise over $1,000 towards the club for 2011. The victorious team – the U8 Tigers (with a bit of help from the O35/5s) roared with triumph as they doubled their points in the Science and Nature Round and managed to identify the Roseville Bridge from a very odd angle.

The club would like to thank all those that came along to help make the night such a success, to John Koster for organising the event and to all the sponsors who supplied prizes for the evening.

The Over 35s Division 6 side is has been together for the past four or five seasons.

We are probably better known as the 56ers. The name came about as we are always either in division 5 or division 6. The average age of our players is 50 + with our fittest and toughest player being 61.

In 2008 we were the Over 35 Division 6 Premiers. This season we are mid table but looking to come home strong in the back half of the season.

There is nothing better than having a kick on a Saturday afternoon with the 56ers.

Beacon Hill FC entered a team in the Mini World Cup at Cromer Park on the 29th May 2011. The tournament involved 16 teams from the Manly Warringah Football Association under 9 competition, playing a modified format of six a side football in four pools similar to the global world cup event. Beacon Hill represented Portugal and compiled a team made up from the U/9 Hurricanes and Tornadoes teams.

The first game was against USA (played by Seaforth) which Portugal won convincingly 5 - 1; the second game was against South Africa (played by Wakehurst) which Portugal were again successful 3 - 0; the final pool game was against Germany (played by Pittwater), a top of the pool clash providing a tight and competitive game which resulted in a 2 - 2 draw.

Beacon Hill (ala Portugal) had a higher goal differential as a result of our strong performances in the first two games and successfully finished this stage of the competition undefeated and in the number 1 position for their pool! Wow, what a fantastic outcome, against such quality opposition.

We were now in the major semi final of the tournament, and only had France (played by Forest Killarney) to beat in this game before playing the grand final - this was to be our toughest test so far. What a game, after such a see-sawing match, with many chances created by both teams and saved by their respective goalies, France slotted their winning goal in the last 2 minutes of play to pip us at the post. The final score was France 1, Portugal 0, which unfortunately ended our competition.

What a great day! Everyone really played at the top of their game throughout the tournament, congratulations to all of the players for the spirit and competitive edge they displayed in their football. Portugal finished 3rd in the 16 team competition based on our strong goal differential - well done team!

Our Portugal team was gallantly represented by: Jordan Wall, Tom Phelps, Ben Gibson, Monique Curulli, Conor Carroll, Will Harrison, Lachlan Gorman, Jacob Herman, William Jacka, Dylan Schaub and Sean McManus, Manager Ber Carroll, Coach Bruce Harrison.

Beacon Hill's PL Reserves kicked off the 2011 season with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Manly Vale at David Thomas Reserve last Saturday.

Rick Saunders (pictured) scored the 1st goal of the 2011 season in what promises to be an exciting and challenging winter.

Later in the day, in a disappointing start for Beacon Hill's PL First Grade, Beacon could not get the ball past Manly Vale's veteran goalie Bob Catlin and had to be content with a 0-0 draw.
