🗞 Three Goals, One Bust-Up & Zero Points — Beaulieu Make a Pig’s Ear of It

Beaulieu Gazette – Sport�Serving the community (and occasionally serving drama)�Sunday 11th January 2026�Senior Reporter: Harry Staines

After a festive lay-off long enough to make even Santa lose match fitness, Beaulieu finally laced their boots again and waddled their way to Hannakins Farm with hopes of starting 2026 in style.

Unfortunately, they arrived looking less like hungry lions and more like overfed Christmas turkeys.
The hosts started brighter and it didn’t take long for disaster to strike. A harmless-looking ball trickled under the returning Wakey’s foot and gifted Hannakins a tap-in.
To their credit, Beaulieu woke up. Ollie Storey unleashed a thunderous left-footed rocket that rattled the bar, and Geo was there like a bargain hunter on Boxing Day to score. Moments later, a deliciously whipped corner was met by Aidan “The Enforcer,” who powered home to make it 2–1. Beaulieu were flying… briefly.
Just before the break, Hannakins Farm reminded everyone this was their barnyard, floating in a cross that was neatly nodded home. 2–2 at halftime.

Manager Dave Adkins rang the changes so fast he could’ve been working in a call centre. But Beaulieu came out for the second half half-asleep, and Hannakins punished them again with yet another ball into the box, 3–2 to the hosts.
From there it was all Beaulieu. Shots flew. Pressure piled up. Then came the moment: Penalty to Beaulieu. Step forward Luke Rumble, the specialist… who promptly forgot how to kill things.

The keeper saved, the score stayed 3–2, and Hannakins Farm held firm as Beaulieu huffed, puffed, and failed to blow the house down.
But the real fireworks came after the whistle.

Rumble and Adkins locked horns in what Geo described as “a scene from Emmerdale,” with accusations of substitutions being “changed like hotcakes” flying around. It was less debrief and more soap opera.

⭐️ MOTM went to right-back Staino, who shocked everyone by going forward, nearly scoring, and throwing himself into tackles like a man who’d had one too many espressos.

Beaulieu may have lost, but they certainly didn’t go quietly… or politely...

Somehow, we managed to get this game on today!

Last match of 2025 for Beaulieu today as they face off against Old Chelmsfordians Reserves for a spot in the Division Two Cup semi final.

🗞 AIDAN CRUNCHES, BEAULIEU CLINCHES! Cup Run Rolls On

After further league frustration, Beaulieu decided to take shelter in their favourite place this season – the cup – as they splashed their way over to Little Waltham, hoping for another giant-killing sequel to the Maldon Social blockbuster. With rain lashing down and the pitch slowly transforming from “lush green” to “PGT mud-bath,” all the ingredients were in place for a certified cup classic.

The visitors flew out of the traps, stretching play wide and looking sharp despite the conditions. And who else but Mr PGT Himself, Luke Rumble, to break the deadlock? Up stepped the midfield maestro with a free kick so perfect the Waltham keeper might as well have stayed in the changing room. 1–0 Beaulieu… and surely, surely, lessons had been learned about protecting an early lead?
Absolutely not.

A scruffy Waltham corner was met with equally scruffy defending, and the hosts bundled home to make it 1–1. Game on. Beaulieu responded well, pinning Waltham back and firing off chance after chance, only to be denied by a goalkeeping performance that bordered on witchcraft. At half-time it remained locked at 1–1, with Beaulieu wondering how they weren’t already out of sight.

The second half followed the same script: Beaulieu pushing, Waltham resisting. Then, just as the visitors looked most dangerous, football did what football does best—punish profligacy. A hopeful route-one ball was flicked on and finished past the previously untroubled Beaulieu back line. 2–1 Waltham, and suddenly the cup dream was wobbling.

But this Beaulieu side has heart, grit—and apparently, a serious obsession with late drama. With ten minutes to go, a corner caused chaos and Impey pounced to smash home the equaliser. 2–2! Cue limbs, noise, and yet another chapter added to this growing cup fairytale.

Into extra time we trudged, the Beaulieu boys in red somehow finding yet another gear. Pressure built, tackles flew in, and then—magic. A deflected strike from Peter and his magic hat finally broke Waltham hearts to make it 3–2. From that point on, the tie felt sealed.

There was still time for controversy, of course. With a Waltham player down injured, the hosts expected the ball to be kicked out. But under strict instructions from Aidan, play continued. Beaulieu worked the ball up the pitch and fired home a fourth to the fury of the home crowd. 4–2, handbags emotionally thrown, and Beaulieu booked their place in Round Three.

The final whistle confirmed a fantastic away performance, a muddy masterpiece, and yet another reminder that when it comes to cup football, Beaulieu simply refuses to be ordinary.

⭐️ MAN OF THE MATCH:
Aidan “The Enforcer” – a one-man wrecking crew in midfield. Crunching tackles, total dominance of every 50/50, and a nasty gash on the chin as proof of battle. A warrior in every sense.

🔥 Special Mentions:
* Luke Rumble – two goals and endless quality.
* Impey – relentless running and the vital equaliser.
* Barnard – enormous impact off the bench with key tackles at crucial moments.

Time for some cup action for our Sunday side.
