GIRLS
Beeston/mp were never at full strngth this season and after Nottingham Highfields forgot to turn up for their fixture only played 3 matches. Beeston easily beat Monarchs 12-0 and should also have had an easy victory against Ashfield but for a superb performance by the Ashfield goalkeeper who kept the score at 0-0. In their last match Beeston took the lead against SBU but faded in the second half against a confident well drilled team eventually losing 2-6. However the girls finished runners/up in the league and many of the players are eligible to play again next year. Mike and Hannah Price coached the team and Martin Keeling was their umpire.
