Beverley Town have booked themselves a place in the NCEL Premier Division playoffs after a dramatic final day of the season that saw them clinch 4th place in the standings. The local side pulled off a huge result against Tadcaster Albion, scoring a 90th-minute winner to snatch the three points and keep their promotion hopes alive. That goal didn’t just win them the match—it secured their spot in the playoffs ahead of close rivals Thackley and Albion Sports.
Albion Sports couldn’t hold off Handsworth and suffered a defeat, while Thackley’s win saw them finish just behind Beverley in 5th. It all came down to the wire, but Beverley’s late-game heroics made the difference. With so much excitement building, it’s no surprise that fans have started placing bets on who might win it all. Not all sportsbooks offer odds on non-league teams, but turning to those featured on a non-GamStop betting guide can help, as these sites often have more betting markets at fewer restrictions for bettors.
Beverley will now face Golcar United, who finished 3rd, in a semi-final showdown at Skye Direct Stadium. The other semi-final will see Hallam FC take on Thackley on the same day.
The winners from each game will go head-to-head in a single playoff final on 19 April, hosted by whichever team placed higher in the regular league table. For Beverley, it’s a massive opportunity to keep the momentum going and push for a spot in the Northern Premier League—a level they’ve never reached before.
It’s been a steady climb for the club, which only earned promotion from Division One at the end of last season. Now, just two games stand between them and another big step up.
Support for the team has really taken off in recent months. Matchday crowds have grown, and locals are rallying around the squad like never before. The buzz isn’t just about football—it’s about pride in what the club represents. Beverley Town’s run is uniting the community, sparking excitement across generations, and reminding people of the magic of local sport. Even non-regulars are finding reasons to tune in, curious as to whether Beverley’s history is about to be rewritten.
The rise of Beverley Town has been impressive to watch. Founded way back in 1902, the team has often flown under the radar. But recent seasons have seen them build something special at Norwood Park. The home support has grown, the squad has gelled, and the results are starting to show. Their run this season hasn’t just been about luck—they’ve played with heart, purpose, and a clear plan.
Looking ahead to the semi-final, Beverley will need to be sharp. Golcar United finished the season with 23 wins and an impressive goal difference of +39. They’re no pushovers. Beverley will have to rely on the energy that’s taken them this far and hope that recent form carries into this crucial tie.
Still, there’s a real buzz around the town right now. Beverley’s journey this season has already captured local attention, and with just two more wins standing between them and history, fans are daring to dream. It’s been a long road, but they’re not done yet.
