The blue and golds went down to defeat again at the Leisure Centre last Saturday. Once again there was no shortage of effort, endeavour and spirit but they were sadly lacking a playmaker which would have converted pressure into points.
This the latest defeat in Beverley’s disappointing campaign largely summed up their season. There was no shortage of effort and team spirit but some poor decision
This was a game contested by two desperate sides at the Beverley Leisure Centre last Saturday, and a draw in an error strewn encounter was a fair reflection of the game. Early in the game it was a case of if anything can go wrong it will for the hosts.
The blue and golds entertained the high flyers from Keyingham on Saturday at the Beverley Leisure Centre and it proved to be tough going. The visitors have assembled a formidable side this season which contains many teenagers that were products of their highly successful under 18’s team from the previous season. For much of the game Beverley ARLC were clearly struggling to cope with the slick well organised Vikings attack….
Beverley played in the first round of the National Cup match against St Helen’s side Newton Storm. The match was played for Jamie Branton, an influential Braves player who was seriously injured earlier in the week when he was hit by a car. Harry Bulleyment made a massive impression on his first run breaking through the oncoming forwards with players hanging off his arms and Beverley were unlucky not to…
The blue and golds return to action this Saturday at the Beverley Leisure Centre with a fixture at home to Holderness Vikings. They will certainly be looking to get their season on track which has seen them muster only one league victory thus far this season. Numbers at training and team spirit have remained high during all of this which has left coach Rich Shaw scratching his head as to…
This was a desperately disappointing afternoon for the blue and golds at the Beverley Leisure Centre. A second half capitulation saw them concede 22 points without reply despite leading 12-8 at the break and the Haworth Park outfit having a man dismissed in the 39th minute. The game started poorly for the hosts with Beverley fumbling the kick off and the visitors scored in the corner off the resultant set…
The blue and golds will return to action this Saturday with a fixture at home to Haworth Park. Beverley ARLC fixture at home to Bilton Sully’s was cancelled due to several players from the two sides having bought tickets for the England v Austrailia four nations final. This rendered staging a match impossible. Kick off is 2pm at the Beverley Leisure Centre.
From the lows of the previous match, it was up to Beverley to show all their courage against a formidable East Hull side. It was apparent from the side line in the first few minutes though that there would not be a repeat of last week. A fantastic run broke the tackles by tough second row Dylan Clifford putting pressure on the Hull forwards and it was not long before…
This was always going to be a massive match for the Beverley Braves, playing top side West Hull, who are undefeated in the league, but they could never had guessed just how tough this was going to be. West Hull scored within only a few minutes after mistakes by the Braves gave the opposition the ball. A few of the lads had different roles to play today but West Hull…
The blue and golds suffered their heaviest defeat thus far this season on their travels last Saturday. There was no shortage of effort but they were outsmarted by their more youthful opponents as their disappointing run of results continue. They went into the game without their talismanic number nine Gavin Proctor who was sorely missed with the side lacking organisation. The writing was on the wall in the 10th minute…
The blue and golds return to action this weekend with a fixture away to Hull Isberg. Coach Rich Shaw is hoping his side can make far more of their chances this week. The two previous outings has seen narrow defeats despite dominating possession and territory for long periods. There are no further injury worries other than the long term injury to Craig Hamlet and Shaw will probably stick with the…
The Beverley Braves knew there were up against tougher opposition this week in the form of old rivals Hull Dockers and the home side started on the attack. The Braves picked up where they left off the last game though and put immense pressure on Dockers and forced a hand over as Harry Gray’s persistence did not give the side chance to kick or do anything. This gave Beverley the…
Beverley had a stunning start to the match as within a few minutes of the whistle signalling the beginning of play they used their line, first to one wing then across to the other, completely catching out the opposition as Owen Harrison found a gap and dived over to open the scoring. The perfect start for the visiting Braves and just what the coaches ordered. From that moment the Braves…
With just over two months to Christmas, preparations are well under way to light up Beverley and make it sparkle more than ever over the festive season. Despite difficult economic times, over eighty businesses and residents continue to support the drive to fill the town with small trees. Thanks to everyone who has ordered a tree – these will be going up, with the invaluable help of the Beverley Rugby…
A depleted Beverley Braves team saw a draw against top side Skirlaugh at home in the Yorkshire cup. With players out with injuries, the boys on the pitch really had to work hard and the first half they did just that showing they were definitely up for the challenge. Owen Harrison’s halted the first onslaught by stopping the Bulls like a brick wall with a strong low tackle. Kurt Pelham…
Beverley Braves really let Cottingham know what they were up against within the first minute as Dylan Clifford tackled strong, low and powerful on an unsuspecting Tiger followed by a crunching, hard tackle by Kurt Pelham. These non stop tackles forced a scrum with head and feed to Beverley Braves and from this a lovely passing exhibition through many hands saw Owen Harrison receive and burst through the Cottingham defence…
Holiday and work commitments severley depleted Rich Shaw’s squad and left him with only 16 players available. Indeed he was forced to bring himself out of retirement and include himself on the bench. The starting line up was very makeshift with a number of players playing in unacustomed positions. Paul Atkinson was switched to prop and Steve Connolly filled in at hooker. In a game played in near record temparatures…
