Beaconsfield Town promoted into Premier

Beaconsfield Town have been promoted to the Evo-Stik Premier Division after a 4-0 demolition of Dunstable at Holloways Park.

With Rushden winning at home to Aylesbury, The Rams were waiting on news from proceedings at Kempston, not helped by the fact that the game had kicked off fifteen minutes late.

When news finally came through of a defeat for Hartley Wintney the roar of delight from the Beaconsfield dressing room was indeed something to behold

A Tony Mendy brace, an own-goal by Danny Murphy and a Lee Barney strike ensured The Rams would be plying their trade in the Evo-Stik Premier Division next season.

Meakin said: "It was definitely one of our best performances of the season.

"Without wanting to take anything away from the players, I think they possibly had one eye on the play-offs as they are better than that but we played very well and deserved the win.

At the start of the season, the club had a revamp with Meakin taking the managerial reins and a new board taking charge.

When asked if promotion was the aim at the start, Meakin explained: "No it wasn't.

"The chairman wanted us to be competitive and see where we end up.

"We had a chat on the coaching staff and we believed we could get to the play-offs and that was our aim.
