Walden & Dale Set to Return For Beavers Clash With Lymm

March 17, 2011

Two very important matches are taking place at Beaver Park this Saturday with the first team taking on Lymm who are also in the relegation mix in National League 3 (North) and the 2nds taking on Malton a & Norton in which could well be a Merit League play-off spot decider.

Beavers Suffer Heavy Defeat at Penrith

March 13, 2011

This was a day best forgotten.  Beverley RUFC were totally outplayed from start to finish and produced as abject a performance as they have given for a long time.  It is difficult to comprehend how a side capable of playing such thrilling rugby as we have often seen this season can lapse into the sort of mediocrity we saw here.  Yet in the end it was probably not the defeat…

Pickering & Dale Missing For Beavers Trip to Penrith

March 10, 2011

Beverley RUFC embark upon the long trek to Cumbria on Saturday for their National League  fixture against Penrith RFC. They will need to shake off the blues following last weekends comprehensive defeat by a strong Birkenhead Park side, which pushed them perilously close to the relegation zone. Having beaten the Cumbrians by 30 points to nil last November, and drawing the game at Penrith last season, the Beavers can approach…

Beavers Unable to Match Power of Barnsley

March 8, 2011

Beverley RUFC U17s were beaten by Barnsley in the Yorkshire Cup. The visitors boasted a bigger pack and that proved to be enough despite the Beavers giving a very good accountant of themselves in a tough match.

Poor Show From Beavers as Birkenhead Win

March 6, 2011

Not at all a good day for Beverley RUFC.  They were well beaten here and deservedly so by a side which showed far more determination and vigour.  Yet early in the second half the game was there for the winning. From 20-0 down Beverley RUFC had clawed their way back to 20-10 and were in total command.  Sadly the carelessness which bedevilled them all afternoon caused them inexplicably to lose…

Beavers Face Stiff Test as Birkenhead Come to Town

March 3, 2011

After yet another postponed game last Saturday, Beverley RUFC hope to return to action this weekend with a home fixture against Birkenhead Park (kick off  3 p.m.). Lying 5th in the league table, BHP are invariably a difficult side to beat and the Beavers will need to be at their best to gain any reward on Saturday. The one benefit of the layoff is that most of the niggling injuries…

Beavers Look to Maintain Winning Ways

February 23, 2011

Having gained a valuable win away at bottom club Rochdale last weekend, Beverley are at home on Saturday as third from bottom Middlesbrough visit Beaver Park. This is another important game which the Beavers need to win to maintain their climb out of the danger zone. If they can re-discover the form that they were displaying prior to their Billingham nightmare, there is no reason why they should not do…

Late Worrall Try Seals Victory For Beavers

February 21, 2011

Not much vintage rugby here. Beverley won in the end but they made hard work of it. Rochdale are rooted at the foot of the table and almost certainly facing relegation but they never gave this one up and they might easily have won. Only when David Worrall burst through for a try ten minutes from time could Beverley finally breathe easily. Beverley got the four league points and their…

Beverley Brush Aside Driffield at Beaver Park

February 20, 2011

Beverley RUFC 2nd XV beat Driffield 3rd XV at Beaver Park. Beverley proved to be far too strong for Driffield as the home side won easily in the freezing conditions.

Disappointing Beavers Fail to Hold On

February 14, 2011

After playing some thrilling rugby in recent weeks, Beverley RUFC were disappointingly back to their most frustrating here and could have few complaints about this defeat. Beverley were ponderous throughout and with more performances like this will be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle. After twenty minutes Beverley RUFC were twelve points down after Billingham twice pounced on poor Beverley passes to score two tries. Eventually Beverley…

Bandits Play Scunthorpe @ Beaver Park

February 12, 2011

The Beverley Bandits were in action against a Scunthorpe XV at Beaver Park, but lost 12-10. The first half was scoreless, and the Bandits received a talking to by their skipper about giving away too many silly penalties. After the restart Phil Cromie kicked a penalty for Beverley, but Scarborough then scored a break away try which was converted. Beverley Bandits took the lead when Andy Ellis scored a try…

Beavers Confident Ahead of Trip to Billingham

February 10, 2011

Beverley RUFC turned in yet another sterling performance last Saturday, when, having given second placed Bradford & Bingley a 12 point start at half time, they suddenly woke up and completely turned the game around in the second half and, only a last gasp penalty under the posts, cost them an heroic victory. It is most frustrating that they seem to always give these top teams a good start before…

Bradford Snatch Victory From Beverley at Beaver Park

February 6, 2011

A pulsating match and a thrilling finish.  A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…

February 3, 2011

Beverley RUFC face stiff opposition on Saturday at Beaver Park (kick-off 2.15 p.m.), when the visitors are second placed Bradford & Bingley. In the corresponding fixture at Bradford last October the Beavers gave a good account of themselves against a very powerful side reinforced by several young Leeds Carnegie Academy players. Following their long trek to Rossendale last Saturday which proved to be a waste of time since the pitch…

Beverley RUFC travel over the Pennines this weekend to take on Rossendale in their National League 3(North) match.

Always a difficult place to go to with…
