This was more like it. After a below-par performance at Altrincham the previous week Beverley RUFC got back to their good form of recent weeks and secured a fine win against fifth placed Birkenhead Park.
Despite the gap in the two sides’ league positions, the Beavers should not lack confidence for, if they play with the newly found spirit shown at Lymm last Saturday and eliminate the mistakes that they made, there is no…
A hugely disappointing day for Beverley RUFC. Both these sides badly needed to produce a top class performance to secure a win and ease their relegation worries. The message had clearly got through to Penrith but Beverley RUFC, sadly, seemed quite oblivious to it. They were frankly unrecognisable from the side that played so well the previous week against Rossendale and were deservedly beaten by a team playing with far…
What a difference a win makes. After a luckless few weeks with numerous injuries and withdrawals Beverley RUFC got themselves off the bottom of the table with a close but well deserved victory against second placed Rossendale at Beaver Park. The game never produced much quality rugby – not surprising given the strength of the raw wind that blew end to end all afternoon – but Beverley RUFC will not…
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…
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…
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 RUFC’s season of woe continues as they face up to the most unbelievable injury crisis in memory. Last Saturday’s defeat by Lymm, not only cost them the points but also resulted in serious injuries to lock Matty Adams, flanker David Worrall and outside back Goran Jelencic. Other injuries incurred, although apparently less serious were to stand-off Phil Duboulay, scrum half Chris Infield and winger Rob Smith. Add to these…
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…
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 RUFC travel to West Yorkshire on Saturday to take on Morley in the National League 3(North) encounter in good spirits after their impressive win over Penrith last weekend. Beset by early season injuries and non availabilities, the Beavers fielded a young looking side made up of a number of players making their debuts at National 3 level. After a shaky start they settled down and although badly affected by…
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…
A rather curious match. Beverley RUFC opened their league season with a visit to newly promoted Burnage and for the first time had to contend with an artificial playing surface. How much this affected their game is uncertain but in the end they were well beaten by a lively Burnage side which was clearly at home on the plastic surface. With several senior players not yet available Beverley RUFC fielded…
The final day victory that kept Beverley RUFC in Division Three North proved beyond a shadow of a doubt they deserved to stay in the division. They showed, with a full-strength team and with their minds fully on the job, they can compete with anyone in the division. Middlesborough found that out emphatically at Beaver Park on Saturday. Tries from Sam Atiola and Junior Tupai in the first period, and…
Beverley RUFC preserved their place in League Three North with a fine win in this dramatic relegation showdown. Beverley RUFC needed two points to ensure their survival; only a victory would do for Middlesbrough. In the end it was all fairly emphatic once Beverley RUFC had got the bit between their teeth. Early on they looked distinctly edgy and for twenty minutes they struggled to get their act together. Graham…
Eleven tries and plenty of expansive rugby but for Beverley RUFC the day was all rather unsatisfactory. They conceded three soft tries in the first quarter of an hour and never quite recovered from it. There was no lack of effort and at one stage they got back to within ten points but in the end they were well beaten. Rossendale still entertain hopes of a play-off place and they,…
Another excellent victory over fellow strugglers took Beverley RUFC to relative safety from relegation. But not quite. One more win from their last two games would be enough to ensure survival although this will not be necessary if Waterloo are defeated at Middlesbrough next week. Otherwise even now it could still be a very tight finish. With so much at stake this was always going to be a dog-eats-dog encounter. …
An excellent day for Beverley RUFC. Not only did they soundly defeat one of their fellow relegation strugglers but they picked up a four try bonus point and did it all in some style. Middlesbrough are a tough side to beat at Acklam Park and with three wins and a draw in their last four matches they probably fancied their chances here. But Beverley RUFC imposed themselves from the outset…
