Blues hail skipper's milestone appearance

Grays Athletic have paid tribute to skipper and supporters favourite Kevin Beaney after he made his 200th appearances for the Blues on the final day of the Ryman League campaign.

The all-action midfielder is pictured after being presented with a special trophy commissioned to mark his landmark achievement for the Blues in Saturday's 2-0 top flight win over Kingstonian at Kingsmeadow.

The 28-year-old kicked off his career at Dulwich Hamlet and had a loan spell at Wealdstone before joining Fisher Athletic in 2007 and making two appearances for Grays Athletic in October 2008 before being released.

After a short spell with Beckenham Town and then Thurrock from December 2008, he rejoined the Blues in 2011, going on to make one of the midfield spots his own as club captain.

A club spokesman said: "Grays Athletic FC would like to congratulate club captain Kenny Beaney on his 200th appearance for the Blues in our 2-0 win over Kingstonian on the final day of the season.

"Everybody at the club would like to say a big thank you to Kenny for his continued professionalism and commitment to Grays Athletic."
