Changes to Planed Maintenance Work Programme In Beverley

November 22, 2011

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has responded to concerns raised by the public and traders in Beverley by postponing maintenance work planned for the footways around Saturday Market until the spring. Instead, it is likely a similar scheme planned for North Bar Within will be brought forward. The council is consulting business representatives and St Mary’s Church and will now carry out face-to-face consultation with individual residents and tenants in…

Beavers Fall Short As Worrall Sees Red

November 14, 2011

A rip-roaring game full of non stop rugby from both sides. Quite how Beverley RUFC ended up losing it after almost totally dominating it was a mystery. Even more baffling was how they failed to score a single try despite creating clear cut chances all afternoon. The midfield trio of Phil Duboulay, Junior Tupai and Sam Atiola were simply outstanding and this was probably the best the pack has played…

Residents and visitors will be able to welcome the torch’s arrival in the East Riding and celebrate the achievements of the torchbearers from 18 June 2012 as…

John Nursey:Beavers Need More Fire and Aggression

November 6, 2011

Another defeat for Beverley RUFC but this was a much improved performance and with the injured players beginning to return there is at last some light at the end of the tunnel. With results elsewhere again going in their favour they still have every chance to make a swift climb up the table. The return here of Sam Atiola to partner Junior Tupai in the centre has clearly restored to…

Beverley Well Beaten Away At Darlington

October 31, 2011

Against a side with seven wins out of eight this was always going to be a tough game for Beverley RUFC. They stuck at it well in the first half and at the interval trailed only 16-3 but in the second half they were totally outplayed and finally went down to a heavy defeat. After the great spirit shown in recent games when playing against the odds with a makeshift…

Beverley Battle Hard To Win At Beaver park

October 23, 2011

Not much quality rugby here but Beverley RUFC came out of it with the win they badly needed and a bonus point to go with it. For much of the game Beverley were outplayed and could hardly get their hands on the ball. At 20-7 down early in the second half and penned in their own half they looked to be heading towards another defeat. But the game was completely…

Day Of Dance Success

October 18, 2011

On Saturday 15th October, Longcroft School and East Riding Youth Dance joined forces to pilot a Day of Dance. As an increasingly popular option for students at both GCSE and A-level, the day was aimed at students who want improve their dance skills and techniques in preparation for their examinations later in the school year. Jonathan Chapman, Assistant Headteacher and Director of the Performing Arts, explained: “There’s a lot of…

A Great Success With More To Come: Beverley Literature Festival 2011

October 13, 2011

The first weekend of the Beverley Literature Festival saw queuing round the block for Val MacDermid and Mark Billingham; and the Beverley Treasure House was packed with children meeting authors, making stories and being spell-bound by performers at the children’s literature festival. On Thursday, Thomas Penn will be talking about his acclaimed, debut account of early Tudor history – it’s been admired by novelists (including Hilary Mantel) and historians alike. …

Beverley Well Beaten By Bradford In National 3 North

October 10, 2011

Good in patches but much of this game was rather messy and unmemorable. Given Beverley RUFC’s parlous injury crisis the result was probably what could have been expected. That they restricted Bradford to only two tries and a conversion in the second half was a credit to Beverley RUFC who had turned round 41-0 down after being heavily outplayed in the first half. In fact the second half was a…

Compulsory Purchase Of 11 Manor Road Issued

October 3, 2011

Eleven Manor Road, Beverley, will be the third privately owned property in the East Riding to be subject to compulsory purchase action, after an order was made and served on 5 September for the three-bedroom detached dwelling, which has been empty for approximately eight years. During this period it has been subject to numerous complaints. Neighbours have expressed concern about the detrimental impact of the property on the local environment…

Squandered Chances Cost Beverley At Beaver Park

September 26, 2011

Some exciting rugby but not a lot of quality in a game where the win might have gone either way. In the end it was more woe for Beverley RUFC at Beaver Park. They not only lost a match they would have hoped to win but they suffered yet more injuries to senior players. With little experienced backup to call on the situation now looks ominous, particularly with a trip…

Beverley Braves Give It Their All

September 26, 2011

After playing top team Skirlaugh last week, today’s game would be just as hard against the mighty West Hull. The Braves started the game so determined with strong passing moves to put immediate pressure on the visiting side. Beverley was definitely up for the challenge despite having some key players out through illness and holidays. Keegan Bartlett kicked the ball across the width of the pitch to challenge their defence…

Proctor Makes Impressive Return At Fenners

September 26, 2011

The blue and golds managed to field a much beefier side at last weekend and with a little more concentration when they led 20-16 with 20 minutes to go,could well have taken their first league points of the season. They paraded two new signings in second rowers Nathan Wilkinson and Steve White and also welcomed back Gavin Proctor and Steve Davidson to the fold. The hosts took the lead with…

Beverley Literature Festival Picks Another Winner

September 23, 2011

Over the nine years it has been running, Beverley Literature Festival has brought Man Booker Prize winners to the event only days before they’ve won one of the world’s most prestigious literary competitions. Past Man Booker Prize winners-in-waiting have included: Hilary Mantel, Sebastian Barry, and Anne Enright. And it may prove to be the case again this year. Carol Birch has been shortlisted for the Man Booker for her epic…

Dismal Beavers Beaten By Morley

September 19, 2011

A hugely disappointing day. Beverley RUFC never seem to do themselves justice at Morley but they seldom play quite as poorly as they did today. They bore little resemblance to the side that finished so impressively last week against Penrith and the only surprise was that they did not concede a lot more than twenty six points. Morley played with exuberance and dash from start to finish while Beverley RUFC…

Beverley Smash Penrith

September 12, 2011

What a match! Ten tries and nearly all of them as good as any you are likely to see all season. The game itself was no classic but the flair and attacking enterprise shown by both sides provided some great rugby. Bevelrey RUFC came back in fine style after an awful start to overcome a Penrith side which looked to have the game already wrapped up before it had hardly…
