Dominic Beal is an amateur footballer from Grimsby. He currently plays for White Hart FC in Division 3 of The Grimsby and District Sunday League.

Birth Place
Dominic Beal was born on 3rd February 1992. His mother is Lisa Beal. His adopted father is Andrew Beal. His real father is unkown. He was born in the tough backstreets of the Nunsthorpe estate and currently resides a few minutes down the road from his birthplace.

Early Years
Although now a promising footballer with a big career ahead of him, this was not always so. In his early career he was blighted by injury and poor performances which restricted him to just 5 appearances for the West Marsh 'C' team and 1 appearance for the 'B' team.

Beacause of this he decided to retire at the ripe old age of 9. He was later coaxed out of retirement by Grant Baily when he was 13. He was signed by Humbertherm FC and played in all the pre-season friendlies for his new club. However when the new season finally begun the old injury curse struck again and he was unable to play until late in the season. He played the final 4 games for Humbertherm FC. Although originally signed as an energetic central midfielder he was turned into a make-shift centre back and formed a solid and reliable partner ship with Dale Wells. Along with 'Daz' and Sam York at full backs and James Colvin in goal the team conceded just once in the final few games.

New Positions
After this season he was then restored to his original central midfield position at the start of the new season. However he was moved as the main striker to partner Daniel Morton after Joe Wilbourne was signed as a new central defender and Gary Lewis as a central midfielder. In a productive season for the young forward he managed 3 goals in his first 4 games. Another injury occured as he broke his clavicle in the 1-1 draw with Cromwell Cougars. This forced him to 4 weeks on the sideline in which the team only scored twice. On his return he scored once with a cheeky chip over the keeper with his left foot and created two goals for fellow striker Morton. He was then used sparingly in the final few games and only played twice more managing one more goal. This season gave him 5 goals in 7 games, second top scorer behind Daniel Morton who managed 21 in 24 games.

He then had a falling out with the new manager and was found to be on tenterhooks with goalkeeper Grant Baily. This caused him to leave the club before pre-season had even begun. He had short spells at Asda Colts, Cromwell Cougars and Crows Nest FC, before returmning for one final league game against Caistor Crusaders, in which he created the only goal scored and hit the post himself.

The Step Up
After this season it waas time for the young player to make the step up into The Grimsby and District Sunday Leage. He was offered contracts at Cromwell (Division 2), Smugglers AFC (Division 8), The Empire (Division 4) and ECGS (Division 8) he decided to sign for Fabrenco FC in Division 1. After featuring in all the pre-season friendlies the team was entered into a friendly tournament called the Humber Cup. Fabrenco FC were drawn against Immingham Blossom Way in the second round after being awarded a first round bye. After being named as the teams Right-Back ahead of players such as Pete Grant, Chris Rayner and Andy Mundell it was seen to be an error of judgement on the mamagers part as Gary Nimmo had an exceptional time against the young lad bagging a hat-trick in the first 18 minutes, after which Dominic was replaced by Chris Rayner. He was no longer seen to be in the managers plans and was shipped out to Smugglers AFC on loan. In which he scored twice and created 6. These performances earned him, Young Player Of The Season and runner-up to Player Of The Season. He was then looking to make the move permanent when White Hart FC's manager Jim Hunter was informed of the youngsters talent by Paul Weeks. After seeing him train once Hunter asked Beal to sign as soon as possible.

Current Career
Even when he was signed as a right-back Hunter could see the attacking potential in Beal and soon converted him into a winger. This change in position has seen Beal play 12 times this season, 6 starts and 6 substitute appearances. Beal has notched just once this season and has 8 assists to his name. His current vein of form has seen him start the last two games with a look at playing a third after the restart. Highly rated by the manager a long and prosperous career is ahead of him if he continues to perform.

Off The Pitch
Performances on the field have been successful this season but off it Beal is blighted by what has become an alarming drink culture within his social group. Rumours of his love life have also been leaked to the media and many around the club are not happy. If his performances slip this will be the first place the blame is put.
