Beavers Look to Maintain Winning Ways

February 23, 2011

Having gained a valuable win away at bottom club Rochdale last weekend, Beverley are at home on Saturday as third from bottom Middlesbrough visit Beaver Park.

Late Worrall Try Seals Victory For Beavers

February 21, 2011

Not much vintage rugby here. Beverley won in the end but they made hard work of it. Rochdale are rooted at the foot of the table and almost certainly facing relegation but they never gave this one up and they might easily have won. Only when David Worrall burst through for a try ten minutes from time could Beverley finally breathe easily. Beverley got the four league points and their…

February 12, 2011

The Beverley Bandits were in action against a Scunthorpe XV at Beaver Park, but lost 12-10. The first half was scoreless, and the Bandits received a talking to by their skipper about giving away too many silly penalties.

Beavers Confident Ahead of Trip to Billingham

February 10, 2011

Beverley RUFC turned in yet another sterling performance last Saturday, when, having given second placed Bradford & Bingley a 12 point start at half time, they suddenly woke up and completely turned the game around in the second half and, only a last gasp penalty under the posts, cost them an heroic victory. It is most frustrating that they seem to always give these top teams a good start before…

Bradford Snatch Victory From Beverley at Beaver Park

A pulsating match and a thrilling finish.  A Phil Dale penalty five minutes from time looked to have won it for Beverley but Bradford came back again at the very death to snatch victory with a last gasp penalty. For half the match Bradford gave Beverley RUFC the run-around with some superb back play and it looked like Beverley were in for a mauling as the visitors cruised to an…

Beverley Back to Winning Ways at Beaver Park

November 21, 2010

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…
