Beverley RUFC face West Hartlepool in what is their first home game since 6 February and will be hoping to return to winning ways. West have been plagued by relegation worries all season and have languished in the bottom three for most of the season. The Beavers won the fixture in Hartlepool by 39 points to 5 back in early December and will be keen to repeat that performance on…
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…
The Beverley Bandits put on a fine show in conditions that were more suited to mud wrestling then rugby. The Bandits battered their way through the game as a string of Winthernsea players needed to leave the field through injury leaving match officials little choice but to end the match early at Beaver Park.

Action rugby pictures from Beaver Park where the Beverley RUFC 2nd XV took on local rivals Driffield. In soaking wet conditions it was Beverley who came away victorious scoring plenty of tries in terrible conditions. That’s just not on, a Driffield back attempts to trip a Beverley player in a weak attempt to stop them scoring! HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click on the thumbnail picture below to enlarge the image to…
Once again Beverley RUFC head over the Pennines to take on table topping Stockport. Once again the Beavers will be looking to halt their recent slide and, on the face of it, they face a tremendous task. However, they will take heart from their performance last week at Rossendale when, were it not for some extremely over zealous use of yellow cards by a very poor referee, they would almost…
Beverley 2nds made the trip across the Humber Bridge to take on Scunthorpe IVs at short notice after original opponents Marist called off late on Thursday evening. Even with this late change of fixture the Beavers were still able to travel with a squad of 18 to take on side they had narrowly beat at Beaver Park 12-7 less than a month ago. Last week Beverley were 17 nil behind…
Over zealous brandishing of yellow cards spoilt what would have been a cracking game at Rossendale. Ironically it was a match played throughout in a good spirit with both sides intent on fast open rugby. Almost certainly it would have been a tight contest between two sides which before the rash of the yellow carding looked to be evenly matched and both up for the win. Beverley RUFC took the…
Rugby action from Beaver Park where the Beverley Bandits finally got to play after a very long lay off as they took on Riding Vikings. Beverley were on top through out the game though the in the second half the Vikings played better and creating chances to score.

This was another disappointing day for Beverley RUFC who were well beaten for the second week running by a side battling to avoid relegation. After a fine run in mid season they look for the moment to have rather lost their way; in fact an unknowing spectator today would scarcely have guessed that of the two sides it was Rochdale who were the relegation threatened side. They went into this…
Ian Archibald returned to action even if only for half of game, his return to action was a ray of of light for the club as a whole though the 2nd VX he is currently managing were unable to overcome Hullensians at Beaver Park loosing 20 – 12 HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click on the thumbnail picture below to enlarge the image to full size [nggallery id=494] HU17.net Picture Gallery: Click…
After a disappointing home defeat by Penrith last Saturday, courtesy of a dubious last minute penalty, Beverley RUFC travel to Cleckheaton this weekend to take on the West Riding outfit in the National League 3(North) fixture. Although languishing in the bottom three in the table for most of the season, Cleckheaton looked one of the better sides when the visited Beaver Park last September and coach Barrie Pearce is expecting…
This was a real thriller with the result in doubt until the very end. Fixtures between these two sides invariably produce fast enjoyable encounters and this was no exception. Their two games this season have yielded a total of 88 points with only a margin of two points difference between the sides. Today it was once again a nail-biting affair in which Penrith snatched victory with a penalty at the…
Beverley Rugby Club held a fund raiser in their club house at Beaver Park where one man Craig Hancock stole the show. The supersized forward slipped into some sexy lingerie a wig complete with make up before wowing the audience with his appearance NOT his singing.

Having been brought to earth with a bump last Saturday at Morley, Beverley RUFC have another tough game in prospect this weekend when they entertain Penrith at Beaver Park on Saturday (kick off 2.15 p.m.). The fixture at Penrith last October ended in a 19 all draw and both sides have improved their form since then with the Beavers lying 5th in the table and Penrith 3rd. An entertaining game…
Beverley Rugby Club’s Under 13’s got to play in a new strip this week and they certainly looked the part in their new kit as they won. The new strip was largely down a to ‘generous donation’ by the directors of NCCN a (New Concept Care & Nursing) firm based in Market Weighton. NCCN provides care to people in their own homes to a wide range of age groups with…
Beverley travelled to Leeds Corinthians after there great win against Pocklington last week. There was a bad start both on and off the pitch with coach Chris “wham-bam” Dexter forgetting the kit resulting in Beverley having to wear a Leeds Corinthians strip. The game also started slow as Beverleys forwards underestimated Leeds and therefore lost alot of ball due to this, after almost a full half of both teams playing…
