Anticipation was in the air at beaver Park on a fresh and sunny Sunday morning,to see Beverley under 14s face Ionians. They were the only team to have beaten Beverley at the start of the season and Ionians themselves had maintained a winning run. The whistle blew and immediately stampeding down the wing came Ionians. They powered forward with Chris Chapman delivering some crunching tackles and Josh Howlett and Joe…
Another defeat for Beverley RUFC but this was a much improved performance and with the injured players beginning to return there is at last some light at the end of the tunnel. With results elsewhere again going in their favour they still have every chance to make a swift climb up the table. The return here of Sam Atiola to partner Junior Tupai in the centre has clearly restored to…
Mowden Park last Saturday, Beverley RUFC face another daunting away trip to Liverpool to take on Waterloo at Blundellsands. Having suffered another heavy defeat at the hands of new league leaders Darlington Although they are rooted at the bottom of the league table at present, the Beavers are not too far adrift and there is some light at the end of the tunnel regarding the return of their key players…
Against a side with seven wins out of eight this was always going to be a tough game for Beverley RUFC. They stuck at it well in the first half and at the interval trailed only 16-3 but in the second half they were totally outplayed and finally went down to a heavy defeat. After the great spirit shown in recent games when playing against the odds with a makeshift…
Having ended their losing streak with a sketchy win over fellow strugglers Altrincham Kersal last weekend, Beverley RUFC head north to high flying Darlington Mowden Park on Saturday. Whilst their confidence cannot be said to be fully restored yet, last week’s win and bonus point has certainly helped to ease the situation and the return of some of the injured players obviously helped. Dave Worrall, in particular, made a huge…
Not much quality rugby here but Beverley RUFC came out of it with the win they badly needed and a bonus point to go with it. For much of the game Beverley were outplayed and could hardly get their hands on the ball. At 20-7 down early in the second half and penned in their own half they looked to be heading towards another defeat. But the game was completely…
Altrincham Kersal are the visitors to Beaver Park this Saturday for what is an important game for Beverley RUFC. It is important that the Beavers win and win well to avoid being cast adrift at the bottom of the table. Altrincham are struggling at the bottom with Beverley and although neither club is far behind those around them in terms of points at the moment, they will both be anxious…
Beverley RUFC juniors were knocked out of the Yorkshire Cup at Beaver Park by Moortown. Beverley did take the lead though the side from Leeds came back to win the match 34 – 12.

Birkenhead Park are a most friendly club and their hospitality before and after the game is second to none. But out on their own pitch they are always a tough proposition and Beverley RUFC will not have relished travelling there today with another heavily patched up side. The result was more or less inevitable and it was largely a question of how well Beverley RUFC would acquit themselves. Once again…
Beverley RUFC face the long trip across the Pennines on Saturday, to take on Birkenhead Park in the National League Div 3(North) Fixture. During last Saturday’s heavy defeat at the hands of Bradford & Bingley, the Beavers suffered another blow with hard working prop forward Mike Bradshaw joining the queue in the Physio’s room with a shoulder injury. However, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel…
Good in patches but much of this game was rather messy and unmemorable. Given Beverley RUFC’s parlous injury crisis the result was probably what could have been expected. That they restricted Bradford to only two tries and a conversion in the second half was a credit to Beverley RUFC who had turned round 41-0 down after being heavily outplayed in the first half. In fact the second half was a…
Bevereley RUFC’s injury woes continue this week with the ruling out of fly-half Phil Duboulay with a knee injury,for the visit of Bradford & Bingley to Beaver Park for the National League Division 3(North) fixture. The Beavers can draw comfort from the performance of their patched up side at Chester last week which, although going down to what appears to be a heavy defeat to the league leaders, performed heroically…
Forget the score. In the context of this match the final score was of little relevance. With ten senior players injured – five of them serious long term cases – Beverley RUFC fielded a wholly scratch side against the runaway league leaders who had won all their four games and scored over a hundred points in the process. For Beverley RUFC it was almost the case that anybody taking their…
Beverley RUFC’s season of woe continues as they face up to the most unbelievable injury crisis in memory. Last Saturday’s defeat by Lymm, not only cost them the points but also resulted in serious injuries to lock Matty Adams, flanker David Worrall and outside back Goran Jelencic. Other injuries incurred, although apparently less serious were to stand-off Phil Duboulay, scrum half Chris Infield and winger Rob Smith. Add to these…
Some exciting rugby but not a lot of quality in a game where the win might have gone either way. In the end it was more woe for Beverley RUFC at Beaver Park. They not only lost a match they would have hoped to win but they suffered yet more injuries to senior players. With little experienced backup to call on the situation now looks ominous, particularly with a trip…
Following their disappointing performance at Morley last Saturday where Beverley RUFC, once again fielded a patched up, depleted side and went down by 26 points to 7, they get the chance to make amends when they entertain Lymm at Beaver Park, kick off 3 p.m. Despite the fact that they hope to be in a position to field a more familiar looking side, Beverley RUFC know that they will not…
A hugely disappointing day. Beverley RUFC never seem to do themselves justice at Morley but they seldom play quite as poorly as they did today. They bore little resemblance to the side that finished so impressively last week against Penrith and the only surprise was that they did not concede a lot more than twenty six points. Morley played with exuberance and dash from start to finish while Beverley RUFC…
The blue and golds conceded their Yorkshire Cup tie away to Thorne Moorends. A decision was taken in midweek not to go taking in to account the youthfulness of the side. Coach Richard Shaw commented; “We have just played two matches against very physical opposition a third in a row against far higher ranked opposition could have put some of our youngsters off for goodl” Secretary Keith Deyes added; ”We…
