Jarrow Roofing Boldon CA 0, Didcot Town 1 (Didcot won 2-0 on aggregate): The name of Beavon will once again grace the turf of White Hart Lane after Stuart of that ilk struck the only goal to give Didcot the greatest day in their 98-year history in the FA Vase semi-final, second leg on Saturday.
Beavon, whose grandfather Cyril, and father Stuart, both played at the home of Tottenham Hotspur, was the hero of the hour for the Railwaymen
It was his strike that secured a 2-0 aggregate victory to send Didcot into the final against AFC Sudbury at the famous ground on Saturday, May 14.
Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Didcot arrived in a freezing cold north east full of confidence, and targeting the final of the competition for the first time.
And few would deny that Didcot fully deserve their place on the big stage as they comprehensively outplayed a powerful, but somewhat toothless Jarrow side in both legs.
It was expected that the Northern League side would come out all guns blazing at Didcot in the early stages .
But with more than 300 travelling supporters in the tiny Boldon Colliery Sports Ground, it was the Railwaymen who made all the running.
The home side appeared overawed by the occasion in front of an 1,100-strong crowd, which doubled their previous ground record.
In the early stages, Beavon left Ged Quinn for dead, before sending over in an inch-perfect cross to Ian Concannon.
The striker turned and drilled in a stunning shot, but keeper Gary Hoggeth produced a magnificent save, tipping the ball over the bar from point-blank range.
Moments later, Bradley Ward swung in a corner from the right.
The mercurial talents of Ward, returning to the side from suspension, were displayed again when his deep cross to the far post was spot on, but Danny Campbell's shot from a tight angle hit the side-netting.
But the army of travelling fans didn't have long to wait for the goal.
It came on the half-hour, and it was no surprise that the almost psychic understanding between Concannon and Beavon led to it.
Andy Cooper's free-kick from deep inside his own half found Concannon in space in the centre.
His neat lay-off to Beavon, gave the youngster time to swivel on the penalty spot, before firing home a sweet right-foot strike beneath the body of Hoggeth.
The home side suffered another blow when their captain Martin Thompson had to go off with an ankle injury shortly afterwards.
Jarrow had clearly had the stuffing knocked out of them.
Didcot keeper Chris Webb was called into action four minutes before half-time when Andy Davies's cross saw Paul Hodgson get in a powerful downward header which Webb pounced on.
It could have been 2-0 to Didcot just before half-time when Beavon pounced on a miscued clearance, but saw his right-foot volley from the edge of the box fly just over the bar.
With the wind at their backs after the break, it was expected that Didcot would take the game away from their hosts.
But it was Jarrow who upped the tempo as they caused Town a few headaches, although they were unable to breach the Didcot defence.
Man-of-the-match Grant Goodall had a splendid game at right back, keeping pacy winger Keith Hutchinson quiet. He timed just about every tackle to perfection, and his distribution and vision was first class.
The visitors could have gone further ahead when Cooper's 20-yard effort shaved a post following good work by Paul Powell.
Jarrow's first real chance fell to former Barry Town striker Justin Nelson, but even that was speculative 25-yard free-kick, which was well held by Webb.
Moments later, Paul Kelly drilled a thunderous left-foot strike over the crossbar.
As the home side finally managed to apply some pressure, Webb was called into action twice in the space of two minutes.
First he saved at the feet of Nelson, then in the fourth minute of stoppage time, blocking Kelly's snapshot from an acute angle with his body.
The final whistle brought about a triumphant pitch invasion as the Railwaymen became the first Hellenic League side to reach the final since Forest Green Rovers won the Vase in 1981-82.
