On a blustery yet sunny Sunday Beverley RUFC newly formed Development team comprising of some new players and some experienced players took on their second match of the season away against Hessle . They too had some new players therefore it was an ideal fixture for both sides. Beverley took the lead with a great [...]
Beverley 2nds 66 Hull & York Medics 5 After suffering only their second defeat of the season the week before, Beverley 2nds were in no mood for a repeat and comprehensively beat a spirited Hull & York Medics XV. On a perfect day for rugby Beverley played some exhilarating stuff at times, backs and forwards [...]
With one of the strongest sides Beverley 2nds have managed to field for quite some time, the outcome of their match against an obviously young and inexperienced Goole team, looked pretty obvious. The game had only just started before Beverley had their 1st score on the board. Some excellent forward pressure and the ball was [...]
BEVERLEY 18 WATERLOO 11 Early autumn sunshine, a lush playing field, and the start of a new season. All that was needed was a good game and these two sides gave us one. Beverley probably deserved the victory by virtue of a good second half and having the sharper finishing. But there was plenty of [...]
The Bandits are looking for as much support as possible for their merit semi-final game against BP on Saturday, 17th April 2010. It has been a hard season for the Bandits and they have consistently played well having only lost 3 merit games out of 22 all season. Nonetheless BP will be looking to win [...]
Terrific. Simply terrific. This was rugby at its very best and a clear indication that when played like this there is not much wrong with the modern game. This Yorkshire Cup second round tie was a real thriller with a nail biting finish and a final whistle that brought to an end a thoroughly enjoyable [...]
Beverley 2nds 20 Scarborough 2nds 22 After two decent victories, Beverley 2nds entertained Scarborough 2nds at Beaver Park expecting a tough encounter against a side currently sitting third in their Merit table. And so it proved to be in a close game played in excellent spirit, Beverley went down 22-20 in a game they could [...]
Hullensians welcome Doncaster Phoenix to Springhead Lane tomorrow for a rearranged Yorkshire 2 League game. Hullensians will be looking for revenge for the 14-13 defeat inflicted on them in the corresponding away game which they threw away by conceding too many penalties. Hullensians, who have had been decimated by injuries this season, have had further [...]
Beverley RUFC face West Hartlepool in what is their first home game since 6 February and will be hoping to return to winning ways. West have been plagued by relegation worries all season and have languished in the bottom three for most of the season. The Beavers won the fixture in Hartlepool by 39 points [...]
Beverley RUFC 2nds produced arguably their best performance of the season against a spirited Driffield side and in the process scored 55 points for the second week running. Looking at the score line you could have been forgiven for thinking the conditions were suited to fast open running rugby, however the game was very nearly [...]
At 1pm, the pitch was fine and playable, but the heavens opened and by kick off time, the pitch was waterlogged. With the rain still falling, the referee was of a mind to call the game off, but both captains agreed that they should try to play the game. Brushes and squeegees were used to [...]
Beverley paid the price for one dreadful lapse in defence to go down to a narrow defeat at league leaders Stockport. The wet conditions meant the game was fairly error-strewn and often scrappy, but it was exciting and enjoyable for all that. It was played throughout in a good spirit for which great credit is [...]
Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some [...]
Beverley 2nds made the trip across the Humber Bridge to take on Scunthorpe IVs at short notice after original opponents Marist called off late on Thursday evening. Even with this late change of fixture the Beavers were still able to travel with a squad of 18 to take on side they had narrowly beat at [...]
Over zealous brandishing of yellow cards spoilt what would have been a cracking game at Rossendale. Ironically it was a match played throughout in a good spirit with both sides intent on fast open rugby. Almost certainly it would have been a tight contest between two sides which before the rash of the yellow carding [...]
Hullensians travel to face West Leeds tomorrow knowing that victory is a must if they are to remain within striking distance of North Ribblesdale and Knottingley in the battle for promotion to Yorkshire League Division 1. Hullensians had a comfortable 22-10 win over West Leeds in the home fixture, but expect a lot closer battle [...]
Beverley 2ND XV 12 Hullensians 20 Beaver Park, Beverley Only five weeks on from the previous encounter between these two sides, in which the visitors inflicted a heavy defeat on Beverley RUFC, they again ran out winners although this time the result was in doubt until the final kick of the match. In recent weeks [...]
ROCHDALE 34 BEVERLEY 10 by John Nursey This was another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC who were well beaten for the second week running by a side battling to avoid relegation. After a fine run in mid season they look for the moment to have rather lost their way; in fact an unknowing spectator today [...]
CLECKHEATON 27 BEVERLEY RUFC 10 by JJohn Nursey Despite a spirited effort Beverley went down to a resurgent Cleckheaton side and as a result slipped to mid-table. On a quagmire pitch they could never get their speedy runners going and their lightweight pack was always going to struggle in the heavy going against a powerful [...]
