Sweet Victory for Beverley RUFC on the Road

April 15, 2010

This was an extraordinary game of rugby. Littered equally with mistakes and champagne rugby from the Beavers it was nevertheless an exciting game with, eventually, the right outcome. As is normal with the Beavers, this last away game of the season is used as an occasion for the players to let their hair down, dress up in fancy dress and have a good night out on the way home. Unfortunately…

Charlton Pleased With Team Performance

April 15, 2010

After various last minute drop outs, this was a very different looking Beverley RUFC team that took on Scunthorpe 4ths for the 3rd time this year. Without various key personnel, it was left to the remaining players to fill the voids. The game started in usual Beverley RUFC fashion, half hearted and without commitment. Scunthorpe made easy work of the new look Beverley RUFC pack and were dominant at almost…

Beverley Face West Park in Final Game

April 9, 2010

Beverley RUFC travel to Merseyside on Saturday to take on West Park St. Helens in their final game of the season.

Beverley RUFC Vs Darlington Mowden Park

April 5, 2010

Plenty of good rugby but overall a strange game.  For Beverley RUFC it was a curate’s egg performance – good and bad in about equal measure.  For twenty five minutes they played some cracking stuff, were leading 17-5, and looked as though they would romp away with it.  Then unaccountably it all went wrong and after that, apart from the last ten minutes, all the good rugby came from Darlington…

Beverley RUFC Look for Back to Back Wins

April 2, 2010

This weekend’s visitors to Beaver Park for Beverley RUFC’s scheduled National League 3 fixture are Darlington Mowden Park. In the corresponding fixture at Darlington last October, the Beavers lost 21-36, but felt that the 15 point margin did not reflect the game. Only a 10 minute first half blast whilst Beverley regrouped after the loss of Goran Jelencic, allowed Darlington to score 14 points without reply. Beverley will be out…

Beverley RUFC Vs West Hartlepool

March 29, 2010

Beverley RUFC rounded off their club’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations with a fine win in the spring sunshine at Beaver Park.  It was hard and physical but always an enjoyable game to watch.  From the early stages a victory for Beverley RUFC always looked probable but for half an hour they made heavy weather of it and at the interval all they had to show for their domination was a single…

Easy Win For Beverley 2nds Against Driffield

March 23, 2010

Beverley RUFC 2nds produced arguably their best performance of the season against a spirited Driffield side and in the process scored 55 points for the second week running. Looking at the score line you could have been forgiven for thinking the conditions were suited to fast open running rugby, however the game was very nearly a victim of the weather as constant rain had left the pitch with areas of…

Stockport Vs Beverley RUFC

March 21, 2010

Beverley paid the price for one dreadful lapse in defence to go down to a narrow defeat at league leaders Stockport.  The wet conditions meant the game was fairly error-strewn and often scrappy, but it was exciting and enjoyable for all that.  It was played throughout in a good spirit for which great credit is due to the refereeing of Simon Lazenby who kept it flowing with the minimum of…
