A moment of carelessness twenty minutes from time put an end to any chance Beverley might have had of getting something out of this game. Birkenhead held a narrow lead at 10-7 and at that stage it was still anybody’s match. Beverley made a mess of a lineout and this led to a converted Birkenhead try. It proved to be the defining moment of the match. After that it was…
Beverley RUFC 2nd XV were beaten at home by a strong Hull RUFC 2nd XV. Beverley fell behind but closed the gap to just three points mid-way through the second half. It wasn’t quite enough though, and the visitors retained their grip on the lead until the end. Skipper Rob Vaux said: “In the end which doesn’t reflect how well we played. It’ll be a good game when we face…
After a week’s break Beverley RUFC return to league action this Saturday with a visit to Birkenhead Park, for their National League 3 (North) encounter.

Birkenhead is always a difficult place to visit and record a win, but has historically been a happy…
Beverley 2nds continued their great form with a comfortable win over Hull Medics.

With good movement and quick passing they took Hull Medics apart and notched up another big score, winning 71 – 5. This was another top team performance from Beverley. Credit must also go…
The Bandits started brightly in the first 15 minutes and were looking comfortable, but as the game went on Scarborough grew in confidence and early in the second half drew level at 12-12. This game could have gone either way, but in the end it came down to who wanted it most and it was the Bandits who claimed the points 17-15 in a very even game. Pictures by Paul…

They got off to a sensational start. After only three minutes Junior Tupai…

After a string of narrow defeats which left them sitting alarmingly low in the league Beverley RUFC badly needed this victory. Rochdale hardly looked like a side still without a win this season and contributed hugely to an entertaining game. For most of the time the fast flowing rugby played by both sides matched the fine autumn sunshine. Well, it did for the first half at any rate. In the…
Bottom of the table Rochdale are the visitors to Beaver Park on Saturday for the National League 3(North) match between the two struggling sides. Although they are now third from the bottom of the table, Beverley are a far better team than their league position suggests, but they cannot continue to rely on that theoretical analysis. They must start to put together a winning run to back up the theory…

Beverley RUFC make the relatively short journey to Bradford on Saturday where they take on Bradford & Bingley in the National League 3 North fixture. They will need to improve on their showing of last week when they came second best to a physical Rossendale side which bullied them from start to finish. Beverley could not obtain any satisfactory set piece ball and the 24-36 scoreline rather flattered them. It…
Beverley 2nds travelled across the Humber on Saturday to face Cleethorpes 1st team after original opponents Marist called off on Thursday.
