Beverley Sport

Beverley Golf Club has stood at the heart of Yorkshire golf since the Victorian era, giving generations of players the chance to enjoy one of the county’s most distinctive courses. When you visit today, you can still see how the club has balanced tradition with steady improvement. Its setting on Beverley Westwood remains one of its defining features, while its long history reflects the enduring appeal of the game in East Yorkshire. That combination of heritage and careful development continues to make the club an important part of the region’s sporting landscape. 

The Hornsea & District Hospital War Memorial Challenge Cup, more popularly known as the Tanton Cup (named after P.C. Tanton Esq, who donated the trophy in 1922), returns for its 103rd anniversary season.

First contested in the 1922/23 season, the competition was originally established to raise funds for Hornsea’s War Memorial Hospital. Over the years, it has become one of the oldest and most respected football cup competitions in the East Riding, continuing to bring together local clubs from North Holderness

Trying to end North Ribb’s long unbeaten run in the Yorkshire Shield Semi Final was always going to be tough ask but Beverley certainly gave it a good go with all the team turning in one of their best performances of the season. The Beavers gave as good as they got for the first half hour of the game and the last 20 minutes, but a Ribblesdale try blitz around the half saw the visitors jump out to a lead that they would not relinquish.
