It’s difficult to put Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Lordswood into perspective. Was it satisfactory completion of a season which ended with a 14 match unbeaten record stretching back to December in which a newly assembled group of players showed that, given time, they could mount a more serious and sustained effort on the Kent League Championship? Or was it a very disappointing end to an equally disappointing season? One thing is certain: allowing the Runners up spot to slip from our grasp when it was ours for the taking in a month in which vital matches were also lost in key cup games, adds up to a triple dose of disappointment which is difficult to swallow. The harsh reality is that Becks have choked in the big games which will leave Becks boss Jason Huntley plenty to think about during the close season.   Match Action | League Table 

Fancy a job with Beckenham Town F.C.? The club are looking for volunteers to fill two vacancies. Club Secretary Peter Palmer stated "we are looking for someone to take over the club's successful web site and also for next season someone to produce and edit the club's match day programme. Anyone interested should contact me through the club's web site by emailing info@beckenhamtownfc.co.uk or phone 07774 728758".

The curtain comes down on Becks rollercoaster season on Saturday with a trip to Lordswood. A win for Becks would guarantee them Runners-up spot with 72 points. In many respects, its a total that sums up a frustrating season for Becks as its a points tally that would have given them the Kent League Championship in any of the previous six seasons. The harsh fact for Becks to swallow is that Champions Thamesmead Town have been a hard act to follow. Even though Becks are unbeaten in the League since December last year, and have 10 straight wins in a unbeaten run of 13 games, amazingly it has still not proved to be enough. One thing for certain is that Becks will be all out on Saturday  

Tony Atkins blasted Becks into second place with his second hatrick in just over a fortnight. Becks 4-1 demolition of Deal Town in Tuesday evenings Kent League game at Eden Park Avenue put them into second place after VCD Athletic dropped points at Tunbridge Wells. It's a win which means that a victory for Becks in their final game of the season on Saturday against Lordswood will guarantee them the Runners-up spot. Becks other scorer was Pat Hitchin who scored the winner against Erith & Belvedere on Saturday.    

Erith & Belvedere, Saturday's visitors to Eden Park Avenue, didn't appear for the majority of this match to have any greater expectations than earning a point. As the final moments of this game ticked away it certainly looked as though their limited expectations would be fulfilled - that is until up popped Pat Hitchin to rifle home an injury time winner for Becks. It was nothing more than Becks deserved for their efforts and, more importantly, kept alive their hopes of the Runners-up spot. A win in their last home game of the season against Deal Town on Tuesday evening (7.45pm) guarantees them third place, but Becks will be looking over their shoulders at the evening's other game at Tunbridge Wells to see if VCD Athletic allow any points to slip in Becks' favour.  Becks other goalscorer on Saturday was skipper John Maloney.   

Saturday's Kent League match against Erith & Belvedere at Eden Park Avenue will be Becks 48th competitive game of a season full of ups and downs. Until a month ago it promised the possibility of a glittering treble but the reality has been that April really has proved to be a "fools month" for Becks. Defeats against Erith Town after extra time in the Semi Final of League cup followed by Sunday's defeat in the final of the Kent Senior Trophy has left an all too familiar cloud of disappointment hanging over Eden Park Avenue.  It's something that Becks will want to push aside on Saturday as the possibility of the Runners Up spot still exists.

Recent history shows the Kent League Champions always mark their farewell with a League and Cup double. It certainly looks as though Champions elect Thamesmead Town will follow Maidstone Utd and Whitstable Town with a brace of silverware after Mead confirmed their pre-match "favourites" status with a 2-0 victory at a very wet and well attended Kent Senior Trophy Final at Park View Road. The match facts: first half goals from Pedro Knight and Junior Baker for Mead secured their third success in the competition in the last six years following wins in 2002 and 2005. Becks had keeper Grant Hall sent off after just 45 seconds of the start followed by John Maloney later in the half. The attendance
was 505.
