Beverley RUFC Colts are sporting a new kit this season thanks to the support of the local business community.
The Colts, which is made of players aged 16 to 18 now have playing strip that is as stylish as their antics on the field.
Miserable cold, windy and wet conditions led inevitably to a game littered with mistakes and infringements and an afternoon to forget.
It has to be said that both sides endeavoured to put on a show but matters were not helped by the referee who must have been breathless by the end, judging by the amount of breath he expended blowing his whistle! Never the less he was there, and the conditions were ,no doubt, just as unpleasant for him.
Beverley Under 15s travelled to Dinnington RUFC against one of the stronger sides in Yorkshire knowing that this would be a tough encounter.

The two sides had met for the first time last season and as expected this would be another close game.

Beverley U15s welcomed Goole to Beaver Park for a first-round Yorkshire Cup tie just two weeks after losing to them in an early-season friendly.

Pray let it be a long time before we endure another afternoon like this. This was a truly awful game.
There was plenty of huffing and puffing and it was all played in a good spirit but the quality hardly ever rose above the mediocre. What little constructive rugby there was came from Hullensians who fully deserved their comfortable victory.
