History: BILSTON
- Formed in 1993, joined the YAC League along with Amblecote, biggest
win 12-1 away to Bedworth. Eventually Bilston and Amblecote amalgamated
and became Amblecote and Bilston FC and joined the WMCFL. Regular names
on the teamsheet included: Andy Pugh, the Mills Squadron, Jason, Simon
and Cassius, Andy Conroy, the playmaker Jadon Silva and the 40-yard
driver Ed Walker. Bilstons own Dek & John Dudfield, Jim Wilkes some
ex convicts and the dark destroyer Roy Martin made up the rest. Biggest
wins 9-2 away to Sporting Zion, 8-2 away to Brierley Hill, biggest defeats
9-0 away to Alpha in 97, 9-0 at home to Chawn Hill 98, 9-0 away to Rowley
in 2000. Both Bilston and Amblecote parted company and all the hard
work finally paid off when Bilston achieved promotion to Division 1.
Unfortunately through lack of commitment and funds they were unable
to continue. Dek Dudfield went to play for his old club West Brom Beacons
and was asked to take on the Manager's position and took on the new
name of Bilston Beacons. The 2004-05 season ended with Bilston getting
promotion to Div 1 and also losing finalists in the Charity Cup Final.
The 2005-06 season fixture list has kindly put Bilstons first game away
to, Guess Who? Amblecote. 2006: Bilston Beacons enjoyed life in their first season in Division One. They had some tough times in 05/06, but fought through and survived by beating Amblecote 1-0 on the last day of the season to retain their Division One status. |
