This was always going to be a tough encounter on the East coast against a side that will contest the Tom Beeutiman Cup Final against Cottingham Tigers next month but the way the blue and golds played in the opening 30 minutes suggested an unlikely victory.
Beverley Braves were under pressure today to not only maintain last week’s performance but also to settle a score as Wyke came confident to the match after a victory in a friendly in the summer months. The coaches knew from the first few minutes whether Beverley were up for the challenge and the answer was a resounding yes as hard tackles hit the away team from the off. They did…
The blue and golds bowed out of the Tom Beautiman Cup at the first round stage. They will rue many a missed chance as they squandered quality possession and field position. They threw almost everything at their opponents in the first 20 minutes but the final decisive pass too often went to ground. It was against the run of play that the visitors took the lead as a result of…
The Beverley Braves under nines continued their formidable form of late with a win over Sutton Trust Lambwath at Longcroft. An all round team effort saw the Braves rattle up ten tries and keep a clean sheet, a great achievement against a Lambwath side who did not lack enthusiasm and were prepared to offload the ball at any opportunity. Beverley opened the scoring in their first set of six when…
The blue and golds were in action for the first time in six weeks last Saturday when they travelled to Keyingham on a bright but bitterly cold afternoon. They went down to defeat despite leading 20-18 with only 15 minutes to go. It was a performance packed with pride and effort and only the odd mistake which seemed to be punished on every occasion proved to be their undoing. They…
The blue and golds will hopefully get their first taste of action this Saturday since their victory over Fenners way back on November 20th as they travel to Keyingham to play their country rivals Holderness Vikings. Lack of match fitness will be the main worry for coach Rich Shaw but is a problem for all teams during the inclement weather that has decimated local sport over the past six weeks….
Tom Radley expects his Great Britain team to teach opponents from the “girls’ game” a proper lesson in rugby. Tom, 26, from Sigston Road, Beverley, has been selected to play for the BARLA Great Britain Lions in the prestigious IRB Dubai 7s rugby union tournament this week. The West Hull second-rower earned a late call-up to the 12-man squad of amateur rugby league players who will take on union teams…
The Blue and Golds finally ended the losing streak which has seen them slide down the table, and did so in impressive style. There were a number of star performers. Gavin Proctor marshalled and prompted his troops well from the hooker position while Louis Hubbard claimed a hat trick of tries and demonstrated that he has lost nothing in his spell away in boxing. The half back combination of Steve…
On a cold, crisp morning the Braves had a tough match ahead of them against a well organised West Hull side. Beverley newcomer Danny Dawson took the ball well for his first touch and a strong run from Harry Gray gained valuable yards into the oppositions half. A loose ball from West Hull was picked up cleanly under pressure from Kurt Pelham and the following play was a joy to…

In some slippery conditions at Longcroft, the Braves were up to take on the East Hull visitors. Kurt Pelham took a fine catch to start the game with conviction. East Hull ran strongly and put pressure on the home side’s line. Despite some bruising tackles East Hull broke free and went over for an early lead. Play resumed with the same conviction and Joe Wardill took a sky high kick…
It was an early start for the Braves this Halloween morning and both sides look nervous for the first few minutes of play. Zak Mayo took the ball cleanly from the off but the game was scrappy for a while and Normanton capitalised on a couple of offside’s from Beverley which gave them valuable yards up the field. This pressure was felt even more when James McGahey was taken off…
The Blue and Golds were outplayed for the majority of this game at the Beverley Leisure Centre by a more experienced opposition. The visitors from Keyingham swept into a 16-0 lead after only 25 minutes of play. However the introduction of Guy Adams off the bench perked the Blue and Golds up and one powerful surge from him set up the position for Steve Davidson to twist and turn his…
With their summer season now over, almost fifty players received trophies and medals at the 2010 Beverley Braves presentations for the Cubs, under eights and under nines at Hodgsons on Sunday 17th October. The ever increasing popularity of the club was emphasised by the number of cubs receiving medals from guest of honour Airlie Bird, the Hull FC mascot. The eleven cubs are all under six and whilst they do…
Braves were on top form straight from the whistle with tough strong tackles going in hard and fast. After just a few minutes Dylan Clifford broke free and charged through the Warriors defence as strong as an ox, to crash over the line for his first try of the day. Owen Harrison executed an outstanding kick to make it 6 points in as many minutes. The Braves did not stop…
The blue and golds exited the cup this saturday on their travels to Cottingham. The match was a dour stop start affair not helped by the over zealous interpretation of the rules by the match official which resulted in a continuous stream of penalties awarded against both sides. The home side crossed for two early tries to race to a 12-0 lead. Rob Thompson started the fight back for the…
The home side started confidently with a fantastic kick on the last from Zac Mayo and a very determined chase by Joe Wardill, which led to a drop out. Beverley’s hard work soon paid off after a good passing play by Joe and Zac sending Harry Grey over in the corner, which made the score line 4 – 0 after a missed conversion. Joe Wardill went over for Braves after…
Hull Isberg came out the eventual winners in a very tight game at the Beverley Leisure Centre. The early stages of the match saw Isberg pressuring the Beverley line, but the focused Braves defence kept the Hull side out. Beverley then found good field position and a brilliant dummy from scrum half Ethan Cambridge saw him make space and out pace the Isberg defence to dive over for the opening…
