History: Bilston/West
Bromwich Beacons - 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. 2008: After getting relegated at the end of 2007, Bilston saw a mass exodus of players many of whom left to join either St Matthew's or new team E K Corinthia. The wholesale changes took its toll and they struggled at the begining of the season. Towards the end of the season, things began to improve as the side settled down. |
