Beverley RUFC U16s came off the back of an excellent (but losing) performance at York last week and started off in similar vein against a big Castleford side. Almost with the first play of the game Beverley gained a penalty 10m from the Castleford line which was quickly taken to Ben Watson who crashed over for the first try. Beverley were playing into the wind and were relying on their…
What a match. This was a thrilling encounter played at a great pace with the result in doubt until the very end. It was an afternoon full of expectation, both these teams being capable of playing exhilarating rugby. And they did not disappoint. Chester are a fine well organised side going flat out for promotion and to have emerged triumphant against such a polished outfit was perhaps one of Beverley…
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV proved too strong for Driffield 3rd’s as they easily beat them at Beaver Park.

Beverley RUFC entertain Chester this Saturday at Beaver Park, kick-off 2.15 p.m., in what should be an enthralling encounter. Chester have been in the top two in the league table all season and, although they slipped up last Saturday and dropped back to third place, they will provide stern opposition for the Beavers. For their part Beverley completely revised their tactics and game plan last Saturday at Sandal and picked…
The score suggests a miserable day for Beverley U17s. But fair play to Beverley as they started the first 10/15minutes the brighter and scored the first try of the game. It didn’t take long for Driffield to get themselves back into the game, and as time moved on Driffield started to see more of the ball and put pressure on the Beverley try line. It was more of the same…
What a difference a week makes. After their previous week’s fairly dismal return to action Beverley RUFC produced here some of their best rugby of the season. Although they slightly ran out of steam in the second half in the heavy going and playing up the slope their effort throughout was superb. Neither backs nor forwards could be faulted as they moved the ball about fluently and with plenty of…
This weekend Beverley RUFC make the relatively short trip to the West Riding to take on Sandal RFC in the National League 3 (North) fixture. Lying just 1 place above the Beavers in the league table, Sandal have won 2 more games than Beverley RUFC and will be a tough proposition on their own ground. Certainly Beverley RUFC will need to play a lot better than they did last week…
At last some rugby. After five weeks of snow and frozen grounds Beverley RUFC finally got back into action, albeit on a heavy-going second-team pitch. They might have wished they had had another week off. They certainly looked the rustier of the two sides here and could hardly complain at a thirteen points defeat. With their half backs away in Australia for the rest of the season and several other…
Beverley RUFC returned to action after a long layoff but were beaten by visitors Darlington Mowden Park. Beverley, not for the first time this season, gifted their opponents an early lead in a game that Mowden Park won 30-17. The Beavers did score two tries, James McKay and Manu Kirkwood both crossing the line. Both the tries were converted by Phil Dale, and Jamie Gill added a late penalty goal….
Beverley RUFC are hoping to resume their National League 3 (North) campaign this weekend with a home game against Darlington Mowden Park after a lay-off due to weather and the Christmas holiday stretching back to November 20th, when they beat Penrith by 30 points to 0. Naturally the weather is still a factor in the pitch condition and the club officials are keeping a close eye on things, The heavy…
Beverley RUFC will be keeping an anxious eye on the weather over the next few days in the hope that the forecasters are wrong and the prediction of more heavy snow and ice for Friday and the weekend will not materialise. They are due to visit table topping Stockport for the National 3 (North) fixture on Saturday, for their first action since mid November. They will be without first choice…
Beverley RUFC are facing their third week of non-activity this Saturday with their home National League 3 (North) fixture against Lymm practically certain to be called off. Already the 2nd Xv game against Pocklington has been postponed due to Beaver Park being covered with several centimetres of snow, but league regulations do not allow National League matches to be called off until the Friday prior to the game. Matches postponed…
Beverley’s Rugby Players were finally able to show off their efforts for the Movember Moustache Challenge. A number of players took part in the event with the primary aim of raising awareness of cancer amongst men and raising some money for the Everyman Male Cancer Campaign along the way. The players have raised over £800 with donations still coming in. Many of the players sported big bushy moustaches while Phil…
Beverley RUFC are hoping that the weather improves sufficiently this week for their scheduled National League 3(North) game with Middlesbrough to take place, although listening to the weather forecast for the area leads one to believe already that it is likely to be a forlorn hope. Having had last weeks match at Billingham called off, the Beavers will be anxious to avoid a backlog of fixtures, as happened last year,…
Beverley RUFC travel to Teeside on Saturday to take on Billingham RFC in their National League 3 (North) Fixture. Billingham are struggling somewhat this season and currently lie second to bottom in the table, but the Beavers will be taking nothing for granted as it is evident that, on their day, any team can beat any other in this league, such is the closeness of the competition. Beverley will travel…
Beverley RUFC Under 13s have received new after match kit. The shirts have been jointly sponsored by Beverley businessmen Neil McKenzie of Meza9, the major mezzanine floor designer, manufacturer and installer, and Chris Thompson of SignEdge Ltd. Back’s coach David Price said; “We were looking for a kit sponsor and Neil & Chris came forward, it a great gesture and I would like to thank both of them personally and…
Only driving rain prevented this from being a real cracker. Fixtures between these two sides nearly always produce close hard fought encounters and this one promised to be no exception. In the end it proved to be Beverley’s day, fairly comfortably as it turned out. The game was played in a great spirit. Both sides gave it everything and made light of the conditions but Beverley were that bit quicker…
This Saturday’s visitors to Beaver Park are Penrith RFC who lie just above the Beavers in the National 3 (North) League table and will present another stern challenge. Games between the two clubs have been historically close fought encounters over the years and this week’s is not likely to prove an exception. The season is now almost half over, and it has become evident that, with the possible exception of…
