Massive Weekend For All At Beverley RUFC

April 13, 2011

Beverley RUFC face a massive weekend with fixtures that will go a long way to deciding the fate of their two senior teams. The first XV achieved a hugely positive result last weekend at Middlesbrough, digging deep and playing some positive rugby to beat the hosts 27-17. But they need to build on this when they travel to Waterloo at the weekend in a game that, should they win, will…

Beavers Claim Victory in Bottom of the Table Clash

March 27, 2011

Disappointing Beavers Fail to Hold On

February 14, 2011

After playing some thrilling rugby in recent weeks, Beverley RUFC were disappointingly back to their most frustrating here and could have few complaints about this defeat. Beverley were ponderous throughout and with more performances like this will be in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle. After twenty minutes Beverley RUFC were twelve points down after Billingham twice pounced on poor Beverley passes to score two tries. Eventually Beverley…

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…

December 2, 2010

November 25, 2010

Beverley RUFC travel to Teeside on Saturday to take on Billingham RFC in their National League 3 (North) Fixture.
