Another excellent victory over fellow strugglers took Beverley RUFC to relative safety from relegation. But not quite. One more win from their last two games would be enough to ensure survival although this will not be necessary if Waterloo are defeated at Middlesbrough next week. Otherwise even now it could still be a very tight finish. With so much at stake this was always going to be a dog-eats-dog encounter. …

Beverley RUFC Under 13’s hosted Driffield at Beaver Park on a sunny April Sunday morning. After a heavy defeat by Market Rasen the previous week the young Beavers were looking for a better result. Beverley learned from the previous week and started with the correct intensity from minute one. An early pick up from the back of the scrum by number 8 Ruairi Sinkler resulted in the first try for…
An excellent day for Beverley RUFC. Not only did they soundly defeat one of their fellow relegation strugglers but they picked up a four try bonus point and did it all in some style. Middlesbrough are a tough side to beat at Acklam Park and with three wins and a draw in their last four matches they probably fancied their chances here. But Beverley RUFC imposed themselves from the outset…

Particularly worrying is that at the moment they look rudderless and a pale…
