Beal was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who took a lot of wickets in club cricket for the Morlands Cricket Club at Glastonbury. He played three first-class matches and six one-day games for Somerset in 1991, having appeared for Somerset's second eleven since 1984. He made little impression in these matches, scoring just one run in both first-class and List A games, and achieving his best bowling in either form of cricket on his debut, in the List A match against Surrey at The Oval, when he took two wickets for 40 runs in his eight overs.[2] He picked up a back injury in a mid-season one-day match against Middlesex and though he returned to the side late in the season, he did not play for any Somerset side after 1991.[3]
